On changing stereotypes: The Boss...

Quote for the Day: Thursday, August 9th, 2007



"The stereotype of the boss is changing: Today's successful manager is generally more of a facilitator than an autocrat. Yes, managers can unilaterally hire, fire, and evaluate employees, but much of the job entails running meetings, guiding teams, building consensus, collaboratively setting policy, and troubleshooting. Happy managers enjoy that process, and would rather plan, inspire, and guide than crank out reams… Continue

On communications, another bullshit job...

Quote for the Day: Wednesday, August 8th, 2007



"Essentially you're getting paid well - in the six figures up to 50 percent of your base for bonus - to write e-mails, memos and articles for senior management that their employees have no interest in reading. Oh, and through these written communications we're supposed to inform and engage employees so that they're proud of the company they work for."

On the paradox of Voodoo Metrics...

Quote for the Day: Tuesday, August 7th, 2007



"Despite management's obsession with hard numbers, many organisations are a fact-free zone, swirling with untested

assumptions. Horrifying sums of money are committed on superstition or

whim. Thus, fact-based management is really triple-distilled common

sense. It's hard. It requires judgment, practice, help, humanity and

wisdom. It needs scepticism and experimentation. It needs reasoned

optimism… Continue

On 21st century workplace revisonism...

Quote for the Day: Monday, August 6th, 2007



"Hierarchical, system-centered thinking, while not warm or fuzzy, has produced enormous benefits over the last century, and more gains are likely to be in store. Its single-minded focus on maximizing efficiency has driven productivity in manufacturing and much of the service sector higher and higher. Such gains would have been hard to achieve if managers gave workers free rein."

I've been tagged several times. I guess I'm the slow runner

I’ve been tagged. Thanks, Amybeth, Lesley, and Karen. Does that mean I can tag several people back? Things that make you go hhhhmmmmm. What that means is that I need to tell eight things about myself that you probably didn’t know. These are also things that you might not have wanted to know, but the “Tag Receiver Code” commits me to comply."

THE RULES: 1. Post…

Quote for the Day: Friday, August 3rd, 2007



"Building a reputation of trust within a virtual world represents a commitment to be truthful and accountable with fellow digital citizens.
