Good work wanted

Chapter Chapter 15 in Beyond Management, 2011, pp 198-215 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract If you have read this far and aren’t sneaking a peak at the end to find out whether I have anything interesting to say, I won’t have to remind you that I have been poking around inside knowledge-work and the mindset we call management in order to understand work practices. Whatever they do, you can assume people want to do a decent job and, whether it is cleaning out the garage or preparing a report, they need to be properly organized. So, one-on-one, or in groups, knowledge workers spend much of their time talking—planning, negotiating, and arranging; preparing to do something.
