Gray tepid monotony. Does that describe your organization?
A client of mine recently forwarded to me a short article from the Wall Street Journal with this note: “Seems like there is a blog in here somewhere.” The article, by Steven Pinker of Harvard, Why Things Fall Apart, is about the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
My first reaction was to laugh. After all, I write a blog focusing on business management. What does thermodynamics have to do with improving your management skills and your business results? As I read on, I realized my client is right. There is a direct correlation.
