Increasingly convinced manifestos and codes of conduct are mostly for people who secretly want to avoid the grunt work of actually building organizations. They’re as bad as free-marketers. Thinking Values can do all the heavy lifting is the same as thinking Prices can do it all.

I don't know. Do you think company cultural assets like Mission / Vision / Values are in the manifesto camp? I can't imagine a good functional culture without them even if it they're just implicit.

I still think that manifestos are useful on a systemic basis though. It's true doers often don't write them, but some read them. Like Marx vs. Lenin - we remember the former's manifesto and the latter's revolution - even though they both did writing and activism.
