I wonder whether we haven't reached some kind of turning point when the Wall Street Journal proclaims "the end of management." Of course, they have to add, "managers should act like venture capitalists," which undoes the effectiveness of the previous message. Because venture capitalists are like sharks, and what they don't eat they seek to control, like managers. We need quite different behaviour in a post-management world. Of course, we're so deeply entrenched in a world of business and enterprise based on power and control it's a long way to there from here. David T. Jones also comments.
