June 6th: The Past, Present and Future of Management
Presented by Julia Wester
Management is a hot topic in corporate America these days. We have a love/hate relationship with managers and are hard pressed to agree on much about them. What should they do? What should they be called? Do we even need them at all?
Having spent so much of my professional career in a management role, this is a topic that is extremely interesting and personal to me. As I waded through an identity crisis caused by the “death to managers” movement, I began to study the art of management and have learned quite a lot from the writings of Frederick Winslow Taylor, Abraham Maslow and Peter Drucker.
I invite you to join me to learn about major points in the history of management, discuss how the function has improved (or not), and generate ideas about how management should evolve to meet the needs of the future.
