Simple Sabotage Field Manual: Dissecting Destructive Behaviors In Life & Business. For this book review episode, we delve into the intriguing world of clandestine tactics by reviewing the "Simple Sabotage Field Manual," originally published by the OSS. This manual caught my attention after episode 390 of the Jocko podcast, and we're gonna explore how the subversive strategies detailed within it parallel modern life and business practices. Join me as we unpack the art of identifying and weeding out vulnerabilities, all while questioning redundant systems and inefficiencies that might be remnants of a bygone era. We'll tackle the delicate balance of embracing technology and shedding unnecessary procedures to boost productivity and streamline our work environments. This episode is about avoiding the pitfalls that can lead to unintentional self-sabotage, from cognitive overload to ensuring strong maintenance of personal and industrial equipment. We'll touch on potential employee behaviors that could undermine success and the pressing need for rigorous standard operating procedures to ward off accidents and the specter of sabotage. But it's not just about thwarting external threats; we'll question our own psychological biases, the strength of our beliefs, and the traps of groupthink that could lead us down the path of destructive actions, even when convinced of a greater cause. Strap in as we dissect these wartime techniques, consider their relevance to our current society and provide actionable insights on building an antifragile life and business. It's time to strengthen your defenses, inside and out, on this episode of the Social Chameleon Show. Enjoy the episode!

In 1944, the precursor to the CIA published the ‘Simple Sabotage Field Manual’. Now declassified, sections of this document are sometimes spread online framed as a guide to disrupting left-wing movements. In...
En 1944, con la segunda guerra muy avanzada, era evidente que el final esta próximo. Pero toda guerra tiene un coste inmenso y el cansancio de las naciones inmersas después de años flaquea. Es por ello que toda medida encaminada a reducir la duración es más que bienvenida.En este lejano 1944 en Washington decidieron apostar por una estrategia tan sorprendente como prometedora para acelerar ese final. ¿Por qué no boicotear desde dentro la productividad de los países enemigos u ocupados? Y no de una forma desorganizada, dejándolo a la iniciativa e improvisación de los simpatizantes de los Aliados. No. ¿Por qué no hacerlo de una forma calculada, organizada, planificada por expertos?Partiendo de esa premisa a principios de año la Oficina de Servicios Estratégicos de EEUU —la OSS, precursora de lo que sería la CIA— publicó un pequeño librillo, de una treintena de páginas, que tituló ‘Simple Sabotage Field Manual' (maniaul) . Eso es: un manual de campo para un “sabotaje sencillo”.De esas páginas podemos extraer muchas lecciones interesantes no solo para boicotear la productividad, sino, para en sentido contrario, incrementarla. De eso hablamos
Have you ever thought about how government espionage is not all that different than corporate sabotage? We have! (Consider tactics along the lines of "let blades go dull so people can't sharpen their saws"...) In this week's episode, Madi and Natan reflect on how the CIA espionage manual relates to the ways in which many big corporations create a bad work environment, discuss Natan's "obsession" with "The Fractal Company," and break down how to build a corporate structure that encourages innovation.

Concerns about precise wording. Insisting on doing everything through proper “channels.” Referring to matters decided upon at the last meeting during a new meeting. Huge committees. These are probably familiar issues to modern public sector managers, but these problems were identified by the CIA's precursor, the Office of Strategic Services, in its Simple Sabotage Field Manual, published in 1944. In a new report titled “Mission Not Meetings: How government leaders could avoid self-sabotage,” McKinsey experts examine the management problems that can undermine the efficacy of government managers and hamstring mission delivery. J.R. Maxwell is a McKinsey partner and a leader in the firm's practices focused on the public, social, and healthcare sectors. And Sarah Kleinman is a Partner in McKinsey's Public Sector practice, where she manages large-scale, end-to-end organizational transformations. They joined the podcast to talk about the report and how organizations can overcome these issues. *** Follow GovExec on Twitter! https://twitter.com/govexec
You say you always wanted to be an international spy? Well, back during WWII you could have been one without any prior training or connection to the military. In this episode we discuss the existence of the Simple Sabotage Field Manual created for people looking to help their country win the war with the weirdest possible saboteur skills you could imagine. We take this idea and turn it into an all-around disastrous 90's Office comedy directed by...who else? Mike Judge. Article in discussion
In 1944 Wild Bill Donovan of the US Office of Strategic Service produced a Simple Sabotage Field Manual for citizen saboteurs fighting against Axis powers. It's a short, punchy 78-year old perfectly worded 'how to'. Some of it might even sound familiar.

Hvad har det moderne arbejdsliv til fælles med statsgodkendt sabotage? Kan det, du udsætter dig selv og dine kollegaer for, bringe regimer til fald? Og hvad har en classified CIA-rapport med denne podcast at gøre? Vi har fået fingrene i "The Simple Sabotage Field Manual" fra 1944 og taler om, hvordan det, som Amerikas skarpeste hjerner for 80 år siden anså for sabotage, i dag er helt almindelig hverdag.

Future Squared with Steve Glaveski - Helping You Navigate a Brave New World
On 17 January 1944, the Office of the Strategic Services of the CIA issued the Simple Sabotage Field Manual. The manual remained classified for decades, becoming declassified in 2008. The purpose of the manual was to present suggestions for inciting and executing sabotage. The manual is full of 1940s references such as ‘axis nationals’, the latter no doubt falling victim to many of the manual’s methods. The manual breaks methods down into a number of categories such as Buildings, Manufacturing and Organisations. For example, on Buildings it states: whenever possible, arrange to have a fire start after you have gone away"). What’s striking about this section of the manual is its section on Interference with Organisations. Their suggested methods sound a lot of the dated management practices that plague large organisations today. In this episode of Fast Fix Friday I’m going to read out 5 ways you might be sabotaging your organisation. --- Join the conversation on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers! 14 Ways You're Sabotaging Your Organisation: https://www.collectivecampus.com.au/blog/14-ways-youre-sabotaging-your-organisation Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Spotify @ spoti.fi/2G2QsxV Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future Listen on Google Play @ bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to steve@collectivecamp.us or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?
