It drives me batty.

Consider a team of people building a house. They have all sorts of things that need focus and work - planning the build, assembling resources, coordinating specialists and doing the actual construction.

Now, add a second team who don't understand anything about what the first team is doing, who the first team have to talk to every time they want to buy a pencil or screw.

How it is that anyone thinks this is a good way to do business is completely beyond me, and yet we have entire schools devoted to training people to do this.

You don’t get it. The first team is the “doers”. They do things. When they see something that they need to do, they do it.

The second group is the “thinkers”. They think for a living. They drink coffee and wear suits. They think things like, “that’s expensive,” sometimes.

The doers can’t think. The thinkers can’t do. By combining the two, we end up with a group who can neither think nor do.
