Doc Searls points to this older post (7 years back now), but it's still a good read. Pulling a metaphor out, I've come to the conclusion that a lot of the management we deal with in the software industry is nothing but human traffic cones. The problem is, real traffic cones portend eventual progress - a road gets fixed/widened (etc). The human kind just sits there, slowing all forward progress.
