In closing, let me state that over the years, there have been many styles of management. Some have stayed, some have gone, others have been combined in order to meet current requirements. Not if this is the style of current management. Maybe it's because I am a woman and care about peoples feelings too much. I can't bring myself to believe that.
Software is a tool, but it has it's limitations.
It's limited to what the programmer puts into it. It can't be motivated to give more than it's programmed for. People on the other hand, are the most important tools a company can have. The human mind knows no boundaries. Ideas come from people, not software.
