lisa I am a cognitive scientist, psychologist, and online learning specialist with an interest in taekwon-do, web stuff, cycling, indoor soccer and sundry other things. This is my blog home - it is pretty messy and disorganised, a bit like my real home. Since I don't write posts regularly, I have moved the posts to the sidebar under "Random Thoughts" and shifted my work-based stuff to the main home page.

A few words on management

Filed under: General — Lisa Wise @ 3:47 pm

Escape from Cubicle Nation: Open letter to CEOs, COOs, CIOs and CFOs across the corporate world

This is a great rant- the solutions are not necessarily solutions I would choose, but the
message to management is timely.

- some points I particularly liked were under the following headings:

- Don’t spend millions of dollars trying to change your culture

- Don’t ask for employees’ input if you’re not going to listen to it

- Don’t train people until you know what problem you are solving

- Focus on the work people do, not how or when they do it

I suspect there’s a lot more good sense in the articles on her website but I would still prefer to fix the system than abandon it.
