Can management lessons be learnt from repairing everyday nondescript items. I think so. The philosophy entrenched in repairing things are not so different from managing processes or driving toward solution. Read why. 

Management lessons nailed from my childhood.

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.

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.
