I think what we're dealing with here is less to do with management "style" and more to do with narcissism and a kind of power fetish that has been fostered by industrial age models of "management" designed to maintain the submission of labor.

Now we are supposedly in the information service age, but until we deal with and modify org structures so that info (signal) transmission can flow from the hands (those in touch with people outside of the org) back in to the brain (those ostensibly controlling the hand) then the manipulations that Cloutier promotes will continue to cripple our economic/social/environmental health (society as organism).
