Swansea Business Club: Blogger’s next
By Andy Pearson
Dr Paul Thomas has some ideas that many of today’s Welsh bosses may feel uncomfortable with.
His website’s tagline is: “Eradicating the Mad Management Virus.”
His blog includes statements such as:
- “Our government in Wales is top-heavy and costly.”
- “Rules, procedures and regulations normally used by managers to control staff limit the organisation’s ability to evolve.”
- “Managers cause so much unhappiness in organisations through a focus on targets.”
- “In most organisations there are limited options for employees to function and there are inflexible structures.”
He believes we should ditch the traditional way of managing and, instead, give every member of staff a say in running the business.
His message will be broadcast loud and clear when he addresses Swansea Business Club over lunch on December 10.
Today, the club greets inspirational guest speaker Melanie Davies, of Treat Trust Wales, and she’ll be a hard act to follow.
Will Paul manage it?
Well, you can decide for yourself by checking out his blog to get some idea.
Blogging’s an increasingly important weapon in the armoury of a business and Paul uses it beautifully, managing to drive traffic to and from his other online platforms which include his website and his Twitter feed.
Those interested in Paul’s ideas also have reason to keep going back to the blog – it’s regular, opinionated and witty.
Can’t wait to meet the fella!
