WWII was before all this, but we have decades of management experience about how to take ordinary people and make them productive in an industrial setting.

The CIA list isn't the inverse of that. They didn't have Dilbert then either, but it looks like the equivalent of mailing over some Dilbert comics. Maybe it is better than nothing and I don't fault them for trying everything but I've never seen evidence that these are actually effective hints at sabotaging an organisation. The office-work stuff, not the physical ideas which I assume are quite effective.

Now that the discipline exists it'd be interesting to get a group of great operations researchers together and have them come up with their own list of ideas then see what the overlap is. It might be quite small. Is it more damaging to have a great worker who gets one or two key thing wrong or a grumpy guts who does poorly at everything? I suspect the former, the sabotage handbook the latter.
