Session covered modern management theories and contrasted them with the classical theories. These theories are aimed less at the organisational structure and focus more on the concept of getting the right person for the job. The theories (Drucker, Peters & Covey) focus on what managers should be doing and the pactices that they should adopt - eg Covey's 7 habits.
A useful session. Again the class discussion was a stimulating and useful part of the session. We wandered off topic a little again, but even that was useful - organisation anicdotes help me to think about my own organisation in different ways.
These were mostly around the ways that different leaders have made changes in organisations that people felt had made a difference. Also how the theories struck chords in the participants though there was a felling that some of the theorists (notably Covey) strayed too far into the "guru" with maxims and sayings - all a bit David Brent!
