Mumbo Jumbo.

For the average worker in a medium to large organisation, management looks like magic.

Managers look like gods.

How things get done is a complete mystery.

Thus - the worker’s relationship to management is like the audience to a magician: curious awe.

After a while, the lustre fades and the worker sees the practice of management as necessary mumbo-jumbo.

The further up the hierarchy, the closer the worker moves to the machinery of management.

The mystique fades as the worker gets to witness the sleight of hand in the executive meetings.

‘I can do that!’ she realises, and signs up for the Aspiring Leader programme.

Believing that one day she too can be a god.
