He said he would reveal bits of information so no one would know the full picture, and in the process of fighting for information, we would become a better team!! He genuinely believed this. It would be funny, if it wasn't for the fact that our jobs were on the line for the project. In any case, there's a terrific article on bosses called "Why your boss is programmed to be a dictator" at www.changethis.com - it provides amazing insights into why bosses behave the way they do, and why current organizations are so boss-sickeningly similar.
