Title: To a Kinder Gentler Business World
Review: As the sub-title says, these are uncertain times. The leadership role Dr. Wheatley advocates is a kindler, gentler form of management. Based on her background as a Peace Corps volounteer in Korea and a public school teacher in New York. As she sas, there is a simpler, finer way to organize human endeavor. The normal managment techniques of control and imposition of will do not produce an organization working together to learn, develop, adapt to the changing future.She says that management should follow the organization that naturally develops for people going through life. As she puts it, "Goodbye Command and Control."I can only wish that more of the managers I've worked for in the past followed her theories. I try. Sometimes I'm successful, and it works.
