only principles which are both robustly good and disputable seem worth teaching
This sounds false to me: You might think different kinds of principles work better and worse for different people’s styles, and lots of principles are non-obvious. In that case, it seems worth someone learning about a tonne of different principles and testing out to see if they help or hinder their personal style of management.
That’s fair. My understanding though is that management training doesn’t seem very useful in general, implying that either the things they are teaching aren’t very useful or people aren’t very good at filtering to find the parts that are useful to them.
