IN TOUCH : Managers = dinosaurs?

The full quote is: “Managers are the dinosaurs of our modern organisational ecology”. The speaker is Joan Goldsmith, high-profile US-based organisational consultant who is in New Zealand to expand on this thesis at lectures in Wellington, Palmerston North and Auckland. Why the antediluvian theme? More information from Massey University’s Centre for Women and Leadership www.women-leadership.massey.ac.nz which is sponsoring her visit.
And if you want to argue her thesis with excess vigour, it would probably pay to know she is here with her husband Kenneth Cloke who just happens to be world authority on dispute resolution and is part of the same public lecture tour. See www.masseynews.massey.ac.nz for details.
