Basically, Managing Is About Influencing Action. Managing

Strategy Making Needs To Function Beyond The Boxes To Encourage The Informal Learning That Produces New Perspectives And New Combinations... Once Managers Understand This, They Can Avoid Other Costly Misadventures Caused By Applying Formal Techniques, Without Judgement And Intuition, To Problem Solving.

Organizations Should Be Built And Managers Should Be Functioning So People Can Be Naturally Empowered. If Someone's Doing Their Job, If Someone's Working In One Of Your Warehouses, Say, They Should Know Their Job Better Than Anybody. They Don't Need To Be 'empowered,' But Encouraged And Left Alone To Be Able To Do What They Know Best.

Leadership, Like Swimming, Cannot Be Learned By Reading About It.
