This Focused Performance Weblog is a "business management blog" containing links and commentary related primarily to organizational effectiveness with a "Theory of Constraints" perspective. TOC is noted for its applications in Project Management and Multi-Project Management (Critical Chain) and Operations Management (Drum-Buffer-Rope), as well as in Marketing, Strategic Planning and Change Management (TOC Thinking Processes). If you are on an archive page, current postings are found here.
"Leaders are, ideally, generalists that can understand and handle many different parts of a company. Innovation is dependent on an organization's ability to regularly access and sift through large volumes of available information, determine which is most important and pertinent and then to apply it to unique situations in new ways. This role -- essentially one of direction and delegation -- is the province of leaders."
Read the whole thing. It's good news for those of us who define ourselves as generalists.
By the way, project managers need to be generalists as well.
(I wish the CG would tell his Blogger settings to post an RSS feed. Doing most of my weblog reading via an aggregator, I keep forgetting to browse over to his always interesting writings.)
