According to best practice there should be no more than five layers of management separating the chief executive from those on the ground actually doing-the-do.
Alas.
Such is not the case at Network Rail.
CEO Iain Coucher was shocked to discover that in parts of the business a whopping twelve tiers of management separate him from his front line staff.
Fortunately a re-organisation is not far away...
UPDATE: This rib tickler from The Archer...
Once CEO Iain Coucher has recovered from his shock and implemented his re-organisation, how many more tears will there be?
