Workplace-Related Articles of General Interest

Not everything fits neatly into this or that category, even when it is all workplace-related.  And so I created this "General Interest" section.  Here you will find articles I hesitate to label and place in some other category. All are work-related and all are worth reading. The two pictures of men above are of Frederick Winslow Taylor and Peter Drucker. Both have profoundly influenced my thinking about work and the workplace.  As the picture of the young lady suggests, something has triggered her thinking.  I hope the articles in this section trigger your thinking.  If you have any questions, use the Questions link at the bottom of this page to send them along to me and I will get back to you at my first opportunity.
