Traditional management can be task focussed forgetting that everything done in the workplace goes through the mind of people. We are now in an information age. All jobs that can be automated or outsourced have been done so leaving work that requires us of our mind, cognitive thinking, creativity and intelligence. It requires the skills of people that cannot be carried out by machines, except we are often still managing people from an in-dustrial age perspective.

In the industrial age the drivers we machines and capital. People are necessary but repla-ceable. How we run businesses (and our education system) is often a hangup from this. Even in accounting systems people are labelled as an expense and machines are as-sets. In the information age people are assets and this requires people to be treated as a whole person not a machine (operator). If you ignore the whole person you turn a person in to a thing, something that takes a lot of management. Managing is focussed on the out-put and behaviour of people. Leadership goes further upstream and creates change within people’s mindset and thinking about themselves and situations which lead to more impactful change from within.  

“You can buy someones hand or back but you cannot buy their heart or spirit.” Stephen R Covey
