Personal Management Philosophy

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the metaphor of the classroom is perceived as something that gives back more than a salary to its employees. The paper continues that viewing the company as a vocational classroom encourages organizational managers themselves to seek out young and innovative people and cutting edge solutions to long-standing workplace problems. The author concludes that one of the reasons for the lack of popularity of the "classroom" metaphor for the workplace might be that the leadership role models that inspire potential organization managers tend to be drawn from the presidency or military.

From the Paper:

"Perhaps the most effective specific modalities of leadership are drawn, not from American elective politics or the military, but other sources, even from the clergy and from entertainment. Martin Luther King Jr. inspired his followers to take a risk, to defy conventional expectations, and to work together to achieve a common goal. Sometimes those in the civil rights movement had to sacrifice their own immediate personal interests and comfort zones to do so. However, King always made it clear that the ultimate goal of the civil rights movement was to create a better society for all within the movement. Even if discomfort and risk had to be endured in the short run, the long-term goal was always clear."
