Manager
Challenges facing the
deployment of human
resources in my firm
Take advantage of the uniqueness
conferred on us as a species exhibiting
several intelligences.
The structural perspective
argues for
putting people in the right
roles and relationships.
Properly designed, these
formal arrangements can
accommodate both
collective goals and
individual differences.
