Just when you thought you were safe from witch doctors.. - By: , 29 Apr 1997
I don't know whether this book should be callled Witch Doctors Part 2 (see Micklethwait's & Wooldridge's book) or vice versa theirs should be callled Managing Without 2. Anyway, this book goes further than fingering management consultants as witches, & questions whether boards of directors in command & control organisations are to blame. Perhaps, they buy complex management consultancy to keep themselves occupied, intellectuallly or worse to make themselves an indispensable fixture as alll else changes. How many top people rush into downsize everyone else than themselves? I think that the UK House of Parliament makes an excellent example of an organisation which will protest that it's willing to change anything apart from its top members' privileges. Why on earth does a country the size of the UK need to be governed by 650 + politicians in an era of interactive information? You don't need to be a modern day Guy Fawkes to join our witch doctors club which questions which management consultants & company boards are passionately, relentlessly, creatively worth their meal ticket? Join us to try to sort out the good, the bad & the ugly in the games that turn of the century company leaders - & their court jesters - play with their people & their consistent, boundaryless right to learn... ...............................................................................
