As an aside, I think this touches upon the previous discussion of management in the public sector - because from where I sit, it looks a lot like many public sector institutions don't have the mechanisms in place for booting the managers who oughta just stop wasting people's time and money. And, understandably, institutions will be more reluctant to embrace calls for a greater focus on management if they can't see a clear way to get rid of bad managers.
Kinda like the way easier firing promotes easier hiring, except that here it also applies to people with an MBA...
