ABSTRACT
Management, as opposed to leadership, is more often than not a delusion of control. It is a device employed by the fearful to cast a grid of certitude over a future perceived as chaotic and therefore threatening. Anybody who is dissatisfied with the way things are; anybody who is experiencing job dissatisfaction, not that cliché so close to the heart of ‘management developers’ called job satisfaction; satisfaction does nothing more than smugly preen itself for being satisfied. So the dissatisfied dreamer of change envisions the way in which change should take place. But unless the vision is shared it can never be transmuted into a mission; unless it is given away it will remain nothing more powerful or useful than a private fantasy, a personal and impotent wish. ‘Change’ is an interesting subject. Change is something which is being taken very seriously.
