Gary Hamel discusses Self-Management at The Morning Star Company
in the cover article of the December 2011 Harvard
Business Review.
In August 2010, we invited Hamel, named
of the world's most influential business thinkers by The Wall Street Journal
in 2008, to visit us at the Liberty Packing Company. He gave
a presentation on the future of management to Morning Star Colleagues and
interviewed the founder and President of Morning Star, Chris
Rufer.
His article, titled "First,
Let's Fire All the Managers," describes Self-Management at
Morning Star, highlights some of the advantages and disadvantages, and
suggests a path to Self-Managment for the traditional
organization.
