In the #Stoos discussion on LinkedIn there is suggestion that "people based" management is the next new thing. Of course that's unlikely. Beyond the Hype: Rediscovering The Essence of Management is a good place to start the conversation.
The book Making the Impossible Possible has been mentioned here before. Here's a quick summary of the paradigm based on Heliotropic Abundance.
The key here is the conflicting - but mandatory - processes needed for project success. Much of the discussion arund improving management is based on theory and anecdote. The Making the Impossible Book, is based on field research from an actual project. I was a participant in that project, as a minor participant (VP,Program Management for a small set of programs).
When there are suggestions of way to improve management processes, always ask - where have you made this work before? And why do yu think it will work for me?
