Developmental Management: An interview with Ronnie Lessem

Abstract

Defines “developmental management” as based on individuality, attunement and alignment rather than on planning, co‐ordination and control. Discusses the “soft edge” of the organisation as opposed to the hierarchical and paternalistic side and compares European with Japanese styles. Considers it to be important now and will demand new management skills.
