OUR STAFF are our most important asset. Many managers have intoned this mantra over the years but plenty of employees have probably thought to themselves that, deep down, executives place a higher value on the machines on the factory floor or cash in the bank.
But there is a serious point hidden amid its grandiose statements. Too many companies operate a top-down “command and control” system, Ms Hlupic argues, when they would be better served by giving employees more freedom to make their own decisions. Of course, correlation does not prove causality. It could be that working for a successful firm makes employees more contented, rather than the other way round. However, the authors cite studies of changes within individual firms and organisations which seem to show that improvements in employee morale precede gains in productivity, rather than the other way round.
US pop culture embraces ‘happiness’ with wide open arms. We are told that enjoyment is a greater duty than obeying rules. In reality, our desires are tied to economic theories that increase isolation, enhance depression, and undermine democratic values. When did it begin?

That's ridiculous.
alllibertynews Inspired Management is the most important asset to any business. Employees need to be organised or they will fail, throwing everyone involved out of work temporarily. Great managers are rare. The easiest thing you can do is turn up for a pay cheque.
How is this even a thought.
