One thought before sleep… why is management changing so slowly ?
August 18, 2014 2 Comments
Midnight is passed… I’m reading some pages of the book “How to Change the World” of Jurgen Appelo… and I’ve found just in some lines the sum up of my feelings… I share it with you, to be your thought for today, your thought for tonight:
“W. Edwards Deming wrote decades ago that bonuses are bad for business
[Deming 1986]. But most managers around the world are still using them.
Peter F. Drucker said ages ago that knowledge workers cannot be
subordinates of managers [Drucker 1974], but managers still act as if they are
other people’s superiors. And research tells us again and again that
performance appraisals don’t work [Bobinski 2010]. But many managers keep
relying on them as their primary evaluation technique.
Why?
Why is management changing so slowly (or not at all)? “
