Bad managers


A hare in a rowing boat with a team of people. The team of people are rowing in sync. The hare is rowing fast and furious and out of sync.


 Two things I have found that manages to which disrupt their teams

One micromanagement I think they’re helping, but really the holding things up

To pushing for results now. This is too much and not enough speed. Let me give you an example. If you’re moving house and you have a van to move the contents of your house in. You can take one of two approaches. What a manager who is pushing for results now insists that you just put things in the van straight away just keep putting things in put it in put it in put it in and then drive drive drive drive really fast until you reach the new house and then you unpack drive drive drive drive really fast and stuff and throw stuff and throw stuff in And there’s empty house stuff downstairs putting it in the van and go go go go .

Or you can go into the house you can take inventory of the contents of the house. You can measure the van and calculate the volume. You can sit down and work out how to most efficiently pack the van to make the fewest journeys and protect the belongings so that they arrive, without Agis or damage . You can consult a route planner to make the shortest route to your destination and make the fest journeys.

The second approach will likely be the most efficient.

The first guy is sharing a bicycle or a rowing boat with the others, but pulling in the other direction

The second guy is the tortoise in the hair. 

Worst-case scenario is a hair micromanaging.

Nerdy nitrogen

 The term "nerdy nitrogen" captures the multifaceted nature of nitrogen in science, highlighting both its essential roles in biological systems and the complexities of its chemistry and environmental effects "Nerdy nitrogen" is an informal and humorous term that often refers to the complexities and intricacies of nitrogen compounds and their roles in various scientific fields, particularly in environmental science and chemistry. Here are some key points about nitrogen and its "nerdy" aspects: Working with a client on their nitrogen problem I realised that nitrogen plays a major role in my life. Not withstanding that it’s 80% of the atmosphere, I realise I just can’t get away from the stuff. As a Chief carbon reduction Engineer one of my Missions Was to raise awareness and understanding of the science behind global warming.

Ammonia

Image
  Imagine a bustling society of tiny, determined beings—the autotrophic bacteria—living in a vibrant, unseen world. These microscopic citizens thrive in environments rich with ammonia, a substance that many consider waste, yet for them, it’s a treasure trove of energy. In this miniature realm, the autotrophic bacteria are akin to resourceful warriors, battling against the harsh conditions of their surroundings. They form intricate communities, each member armed with unique abilities to harness energy from ammonia. As they  oxidise this nitrogen-rich compound, they engage in a relentless struggle for survival, converting ammonia into energy through a sophisticated process akin to a bustling factory. Picture them as skilled artisans, meticulously crafting energy from the raw materials at their disposal. They employ intricate biochemical pathways, transforming ammonia into essential nutrients that sustain their lives. This transformation is not without its challenges; they must n...
