MORE WISE WORDS FROM...Thomas Kochan
"I think [the idea that we will all become free agents] is overstated. We depend on installed knowledge in our workplaces to keep our organizations functioning. If we all became free agents, I'm afraid we would not only have a less productive society, but also a reasonably unpleasant society as well."

MIT's Thomas Kochan is a leading academic in the field of Industrial Relations. Last week we talked about social contracts, this week we discuss the legal and social climate.

"Take a break, have a laugh,

  • "Do you know what it means to go to an office where you are respected as a human being; where your opinion is appreciated; where your superiors treat you as an equal? It means you've gone to the wrong office." --- Author unknown
    See Dr. William Denney's Guest Editorial inspired by this wisdom.
