FC NOW: The Fast Company Weblog
May 25, 2006
Hello, Wheat. Goodbye, Chaff!
Two of the most recent ChangeThis manifestoes might make useful parallel reads. Tom Ehrenfeld, who used to work with Fast Company's sister magazine, Inc., offers The Rewritten Rules of Management, which considers the Bill Swanson leadership wisdom plagiarism through the lens of Enron: "Letting Swanson get by with a slap on the wrist is like letting the Enron folks off with a small fine and a few hours of community service."
Meanwhile, Robert Sutton, a professor of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford Engineering School, cites Sturgeon's Law and suggests that 90% of management advice is crap anyway. After indicating that "the way business advice is sold today makes it difficult to cull the good from the bad," Sutton goes on to offer ways to identify what's awesome -- and what's awful.

DID YOU SEE IT?? I loved the look on KEN LAY'S face! ! It was worth the wait -- it looked like the painting of DOOM on the front wall of the Sistine Chapel in Room, where one of the Devils are dragging down a man into the eternal feiry pit of hell. He holds his hand on his face, and he knows he his DOOMED. You could see it in Lay's face in that one photo after the trial - CONVICTED! hah, loved it. Gone was the arrogance.
He was beaten. Now, if only Skilling was stripped naked for all the worled to see, and Bernie and the rest -- and every CEO who put all the working hands of the world in Walmarts. JAIL 'EM.
