		<description><![CDATA[I wrote last week on “Thoughts on Leading and Managing in the Era of the Disposable Worker.” The post was prompted by an article in BusinessWeek, outlining this latest gem of management wisdom that has organizations of all types rethinking the need for employees and shifting to contract workers.   Positions from the CEO suite to those types of roles that we’ve become accustomed to outsourcing, and everything in-between, are fair game.  I’m traditionally leery of fads of all sorts, as they tend to be driven by hysteria, causing normally sane and rational people to act in a manner that defies explanation. I'm fearful that we are on the brink of another horrendous, value-destroying mania as we embrace the short-term cost convenient fad of creating disposable workers.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2010/01/20/avoiding-another-dumb-management-mania-the-disposable-worker/' addthis:title='Avoiding Another Dumb Management Mania-The Disposable Worker ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Leadership should be one of the principal value creation components of the management system, yet  poor leadership practices often result in increased complexity, added waste and blocked attempts to streamline processes and make improvements that would otherwise benefit the organization and its customers. One of the key reasons that leaders and leadership practices often fail to create value (or to create more value) is the lack of a common operational and actionable definition for the role of a leader.  <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2008/12/26/leader-what-are-you-doing-to-improve-your-value-creation/' addthis:title='Leader, What Are You Doing to Improve Your Value Creation?

		<description><![CDATA[From my own perspective, I like the concept of thinking about our tenure as finite.  It creates a sense of urgency and it helps focus on priorities.  I’ve observed too many corporate managers that lost track of the fact that they are not guaranteed a job or even that their company will be there next week.  Once you start acting like you own the bricks and mortar and the chair and desk that you sit at and even the people that work for you, your judgment clouds, your motivation weakens and your intentions become suspect.
