The way managers are trained in management school is to run companies in modular design. You tell your direct reports what to do, and it's up to them to figure out how. But you don't get involved in the details of what they do. Hire great people for a project and let them do it. Do you guys know who said that to me once? Yep, Matt!! LOL.

It sounds good in theory, and perhaps even work in real world at sometimes. However, more often, you end up hiring 'fakers' or good people who turns into 'fakers' and they collectively run their part of the project to the ground, and the same happens to the other module. There goes your modular design!!

What would be your estimate on the percentage of people hired by companies are either fakers or turn into fakers?
