I don't think my advice will be helpful, though. I have found that it is something that would probably get you fired, in today's companies. Even the people that work for you are completely indoctrinated in the Tech Industry Zeitgeist, and will refuse to work with you.

I've found that management is an intensely human vocation, and efforts to commoditize it, fall flat.
