The Kindergartization of Work
Abstract
At some point, someone decided that making professional adults do the same things kindergarten kids do could fix dysfunctional teams. Managerial infantilization has filtered into the modern workplace, where instead of confronting the problems that make work difficult, organizations transfer their handling to facilitators armed with silly practices, markers, laser tags, and camping tents.
