Management musings 18: organisations as families, happy or otherwise

Abstract

Ponders whether more bosses should treat their staff as they would their family members. Many bosses treat their workforce in much the same way as buildings or equipment – to be maintained in working order, but not worth much attention otherwise. Considers that bosses should be more human at work, this being the key essential of good management.
