    Executive magnification refers to employees taking informal, non-serious comments from managers as serious orders that must be obeyed, potentially wasting time and resources. The term was coined by management professor Robert Sutton to describe how managers inadvertently force employees to perform unnecessary tasks. Sutton suggested executive magnification can be reduced through encouraging criticism of management decisions.

    This refers to the common tendency among employees of an organisation to construe


    informal, non-serious comments made by persons in positions of authority as serious orders
    that need to be obeyed. The term was coined by American management professor Robert
    Sutton while elaborating on how bosses may inadvertently be forcing their employees to
    waste time and energy carrying out tasks that actually do not in any way add to the
    productivity of their organisations. Sutton suggested that executive magnification could be
    overcome through efforts that encourage criticism of management choices.
