20090723:Drucker's views on the eupsychian management approach can be easily gleaned from his later works. For example, in a paper entitled "Management's New Paradigm", Drucker says:We always seem to forget the context. We need better glasses for our Third Eye (our common eye). We need the NiduScope to help us see the hidden orthomentors in our midst and in our documents. If we can't begin to project and focus the wisdom of our past on the future in a meaningful way, we are doomed. Absolutely doomed. We will lose the game! And we will blame it on Chomsky or some other poor fool who bursted his brain membranes trying to work it out."Mary Parker Follett (1868-1933) was one of the most insightful of the early management scholars. But her work was ignored for decades because her assumptions differed from those that prevailed when management was becoming a discipline in the 1930s. Follett preached the use of conflict to create understanding.[Italics added] She believed in managing for increased yield and that increased yield could be achieved through better understanding among employees. Follett was out of tune on two scores. The 1930s were Marxist-tainted, and Marxists believed that class conflict was unresolvable. The Thirties also believed that cost-cutting was the essence of good management. Yet we now know that Follett was closer to reality about society, people and management than were the theorists and practitioners who ignored her work. These assumptions that determine what we pay attention to and what we ignore are usually held subconsciously by the scholars, the writers, the teachers, the practitioners in the field. Thus, they are rarely analyzed, rarely studied, rarely challenged— indeed rarely even made explicit. "Documents are wired to people. With the advent of the Internet and the Web, the dead are being brought to life, slowly but surely. Maslow, for example, was ahead of his time, which means he was writing for us--now, today, this minute. But only those with NiduScopes can see this. Shit happens.
