Initiative Overload

I heard that wonderful phrase for the first time this morning, in the Radio Four news programme.

It was offered as an explanation of disappointingly slow improvements in educational standards, and well sums up some of my own experiences as a college lecturer.

I recall time that might have been used to prepare for classes or mark students' work, being used instead preparing for and attending meetings from which nothing of significance ever emerged.
