A Good Question About Management. A Good Question -- Taken out of context from Jim McGee, but worth asking anyhow...

"All the evidence I'm familiar with says peak performance depends on 'flow.' So why is so much of the practice of management day to day about control?"
hmmm...Perhaps the real role of management is to "facilitate" flow and throughput, and stop worrying about "controlling" (with the linguistic implication of "limiting") it. What deserves "control" is the range of things that get in the way of flow. [Frank Patrick's Focused Performance Blog]
