I feel like HR departments have great potential to serve the business interests but are currently veiled as a rudimentary compliance function.  By applying uniform recruitment principles isn’t there a risk that they fill a business with lemmings. Here are several of my experiences with these restrictive departments.

In my previous post I alluded to the steadfast application of outmoded rules that my amateur survivors upheld. Is this not true for many managed corporate departments as well? Rules upon rules set forth to mediate corporate behaviours and outcomes. I think that the rules are for the sheep, set by the shepherd, and both destined to be bound together.

Is there a parallel between elements needed for basic survival and management techniques deployed by companies? I think so. Here’s why.
