The myth of management - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

The myth of management - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog Youve gotta read this article by Matthew Stewart. Seriously! Go read it!! The money quote: After I left the consulting business, in a reversal of the usual order of things, I decided to check out the management literature As I plowed through tomes on competitive strategy, business process re-engineering, and the like, not once did I catch myself thinking, Damn! If only I had known this sooner! Instead, I found myself thinking things I never thought I?d think, like, I?d rather be reading Heidegger! It was a disturbing experience. It thickened the mystery around the question that had nagged me from the start of my business career: Why does management education exist? The article gives us the most thorough deconstruction of the whole field of management and the magical, unscientific thinking behind it. Thanks for visiting my blog.
