The Algorithm shows me a lot of stuff about management, and I encourage it because I'm fascinated by the issues surrounding management because 1) I think so many problems in this country are caused by plain old bad management and 2) the overlap of management stuff and classroom teacher stuff is fairly large and useful.
The observation about poor management being a major source of problems is spot on. Those of us of a certain age remember the popular business book “The Peter Principle”. The idea that people get promoted to reach their level of incompetence stretches across most organizations/industries and IMO has yet to be proven false.
