Mintzberg On Why You Need To View A Company As 'A Community Of Human Beings'
鈥淚鈥檓 a human being, not a human resource鈥�. Is something I have heard my colleague Henry Mintzberg say a number of times. It really seems to resonate with people.

The Art (NOT Science) of Management鈥揳nd Its Cousin Leadership
It seems that a number of people want to be scientists, or at least in the sense of ostensibly adding credibility to their respective field of work. Economists (of which I鈥檝e been a practitioner since 1982) and those in the leadership field (yours truly since the early nineties) covet the science moniker. Adding the word 鈥渟cience鈥� adds a certain cachet to one鈥檚 profession.
