NASA offered me $15,000 to take down my web site. Take a look and see why.

Yes, sounds like common sense, but it does not take account of those who are
in management who do not share that view and seem to be interested
in'managing', rather than listening and then deciding.

'Listening and deciding' _is_ 'managing'.

...busy as they are looking important behind their desks and at
meetings with other "managers".

A perfect summary of many managers throughout the world -- especially
meetings with other managers. Great line, thanks.

Am I the only cynic here? I read this letter as "management is making
bad decisions, and it is all the fault of the non-managers, because
they didn't lead their leaders enough".

Such things can be hard to make sense of out of context, so it could
be I'm just thinking of a different organization with different
problems when I read it. But it seems to be all about making managers
lives easier, not the lives of the "smart guys" who it is addressed
to.
