That sounds like a great project, indeed.

There were other management theorists after Taylor, you know.

btw, as a law practitioner with my own firm (of which i’m the one who calls the shot) for years, i know a little bit about managing a business.

the step by step processes require management of people to move on to the next step. people can be the driver and can be a commodity to achieve a desired result. the carabaos are animals not people. :) good day.

there’s a difference between a lawyer and a manager. Attorneys really see only small parts of the lives of individuals and businesses. An attorney may advise a client manager to change a part of the client’s written business policies or change government policies, and may advise the client manager on how to implement the change. In most cases, that will be the end of the matter for the attorney. For the client manager , however, the work has just begun. The new policy must be remembered and enforced day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year until something happens to require a revision in the policy. Management is, therefore, not a decision or an event, but a constant process of planning, implementation, evaluation, revision, and replanning. Attorneys expect to make decisions and then move on to something else. They do not expect to take small steps or to monitor a situation over an extended period of time. Oftentimes, other decisions of lawyers may become disasters due to a lack of attention to the process of management/governance. Attorneys may never understand or appreciate management until they can stop thinking of decisions and results and start thinking of long term goals and the step by step processes which will be needed to reach those goals.

Step by Step process= Governance.

sorry attorney ben , I happened to manage a law firm in the past to expand, market and advertise to attract clients. Many lawyers cannot do the process of achieving growth and quality management. It’s not their area of expertise. no offense…

It’s interesting also to note that environmentalism originated out of Philippine shores. If we rejected everything foreign, we’d be rejecting a lot of good causes.
