we have what we might call the Milgram Experiment narrative - that authority positions are naturally corrupting, making belief in good management seem utopian
Wait, what the hell? Milgram's experiments, whether or not you find them valid (they're quite problematic on close inspection) had a narrative about proving that normal people were obedient. It has nothing to do with the corruptive influence of power.

He probably just mixed up Zimbardo's Stanford prison experiment with Milgram's electroshock experiment. They're often discussed together.
Yeah, I did mix them up. They're in the same "man's inhumanity to man" cluster of neurons in my brain.
