The Management Myth

"The thing that makes modern management theory so painful to read isn’t usually the dearth of reliable empirical data. It’s that maddening papal infallibility."

Written from front-row experience, this timely and refreshing article from Atlantic magazine provides a down-to-Earth, witty, and somewhat unconventional view of today's management-by-numbers style and the MBA arena in general.

Much to think about.

Take-home pointers from the article:

- Expand the domain of your analysis,

- Hire people with greater diversity of experience,

- Remember the three Cs: Communication, Communication, Communication.
