News Bloomberg's Michael Scott-esque Management Gimmick Happening Right Now
Posted by Jonny Diamond on Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 1:23 PM
Anyway, as a part of some kind of level six management theory of "tidying your house to prepare for the arrival of the cleaning lady," Mayor Michael Bloomberg is getting his various deputy commissioners to jump to other departments for a few weeks to look in on stuff like customer service, staff communication, interagency projects and innovation (e.g. the deputy Parks guys is heading to Education).
Reports back to the mayor are likely to feature lines like "there was not as much innovation in this department as there is in my department" or "staff communication—unlike in my department—is poor," etc. Transparency and efficiency achieved.
