Chapter 4: Counter networking

Counter networking occurs by using reverse organizational science, turning around usual advice given to business leaders about making organization successful. The counter terrorism example was used in the book. Misinformation given to the network stuns the terrorist team, and they are unable to coordinate successfully. I presumed that mistakes made by the impaired team will allow authority to track messages backward through the network, thus giving authority the likelihood to capture team members. A work example I can think of is when the boss tells the operators that he/she will be leaving work early. The operators may then be caught snoozing when the boss actually comes back after an hour (and not actually leaving for the day). This may help make this organization more successful because operators may remember to be on task, even if the boss does not seem to be there.
