This seems a bit confused. Some sort of bibliography would help me understand where all of these pronouncements are coming from.

People are usually considered "resources" in this kind of management speak. (As in "human resources.") I have no idea what is meant here by "resources and contributors." Much of this needs clear definition to make any sense.

I can't make any sense of the whole war and peace business. Is it peace time if there are no unknown unknowns? I'm sure Rumsfeld would disagree.

What the hell are we paying managers for if not to be responsible? Why is risk something the lackeys deal with "from the bottom up?"
