William Butler Yeats wrote famously that “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold…” Accordingly, opinion writers, left and right, have been writing about the center holding or not. What center? Mostly it’s been folding, not holding.

On June 16, I’ll share this collection in an online event. Details here:

If you ask managers what they do, they will most likely tell you that they plan, organise, co-ordinate and control. Then watch what they do. Don’t be surprised if you can’t relate what you see to those four words.
