Rethinking Management
Confronting the Roots and Consequences of Current Theory and Practice

Authors: Neil Douglas, Terry Wykowski



Proposes a new paradigm of management designed to support the aspirations of organizations while meeting societies’ greatest needs

Examines the consequences of management behavior in relation to the existing and alternative paradigms  Addresses the evolving requirements of 21st century organizations and the realities of managing for collaboration and high levels of achievement

Defines a process and illuminates a pathway to effective change and growth

This book challenges the roots and elements of the existing dominant paradigm of management, which can legitimize artless practices and result in dysfunction, and proposes an alternative based on a different understanding of human nature and social and economic life. This paradigm is designed to bring about the conception of organizations as wholes rather than assemblies of disembodied fragments, with managers as facilitators of the work of others and shapers of culture, with a clear sense of purpose and a moral compass. Such a paradigm would result in a practice of management that is more competent, more purposeful, and more ethical, based on a more accurate and complete comprehension of reality.

This book sets forth a more optimistic understanding of human nature and collective life, and the hope that we can be and do better.  It is a major contribution to the field of management and will benefit academics, managers, and consultants working in the fields of organizational development and strategic change.
