Have you ever noticed that when you learn something you start to see it everywhere? Well, as I read this book, I began taking much more note of the management styles in my company and the companies of acquaintances; in some cases to my chagrin, consternation, and befuddlement. Why, I ask, can't everyone (especially my management!) understand and apply these principles to the betterment of all?
Of course, by asking this I seem to have forgotten that I did not understand those same principles until I read them. SOooo....I suppose I can cut them some slack until I know everything. Besides it will be a good exercise in patience.
This book helped me see more clearly the role of management in this last century, to see where it came from and why, and to get an idea of where we are headed in the future.
