Even when good data is available, an organization’s culture can sway managerial decision making
Analytics can tell a story–but they don’t tell the whole story. In any organization, managers need to have an awareness of personalities and politics, and that can affect the decisions they make, writes David Creelman in Talent Management and HR. Creelman’s conclusions are partly based on a study of accountants carried out by Desautels Prof. Henry Mintzberg several decades ago.

The workplace has evolved – and managers need to evolve with it
E-commerce. Telecommuting. Digital transformation. In just a few years, the workplace has changed dramatically. And management is not linked strongly enough to these new realities, according to Prof. Henry Mintzberg. In this new world of work, creative solutions can foster future success. Flattening hierarchies and seeking client feedback can help organizations unlock their employees’ potential.
