The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
According to a recent editorial in Business Week (I'm
sorry, I forgot the issue date), the purpose of
management is to effectively manipulate peoples fear
and greed. That editorial stated that first managers
capitalize on subordinates fear, and then they
capitalize on subordinates greed. It is through such
manipulations, according according to that editorial,
that all business "progress" occurs.
I must state:
* When, in casual conversation, I mentioned the above
to the Pastor of the church I attend, he gave me a
rather twisted look.
* Leaders (vs managers) do not do the above.
Leaders capitalize on peoples strenghts rather than
try to manipulate them based on their weaknesses.
* There are many more managers than there are
leaders.
