Searching for a favorite painting, I found this article on
diseased management in IT. It's a nice article and well written, but better still, it pointed me to
Cyril Northcote Parkinson and his very funny essay on
injelititis. A person suffering from injelititis is "an individual who combines in himself a high concentration of incompetence and jealousy".
The great sage Parkinson recommends three potential treatments: Intolerance, Ridicule and Castigation. My favorite quote from a very enjoyable essay:
Infected personnel should be dispatched with a warm testimonial to such rival institutions as are regarded with particular hostility.
