A Prescription for Organisclerosis

"Organisclerosis" is a favorite term used by my friend, Dave, to encompass the failings of much of modern management.

The February 2009 issue of the Harvard Business Review brings a prescription for this disease, "Moon Shots for Management."  I call it to your attention, especially if you're one my students.

Here's the follow-on exercise after reading the article.

  1. How will the prescription have a positive impact on what ails management?
  2. What knowledge, skills, and experiences will you need to be able to participant in the administration of the medicine?
