There's also this, which makes a great deal of sense to me even as it angers me from the other end of the power gradient. Management likes to do things that feel good to management.

#9I think most executives are pretty straightforward that their concern isn’t about the things most studies measure. Jassy sees the benefits as being:
> we’ve observed that it’s easier for our teammates to learn, model, practice, and strengthen our culture; collaborating, brainstorming, and inventing are simpler and more effective; teaching and learning from one another are more seamless; and, teams tend to be better connected to one another
These are all hard to measure through studies, and not really the same thing as productivity or job satisfaction.
