Of course I’d like to take myself as seriously as you, philosopher. I’d like to have all the dignity that comes from an ancient subject area. Antiquity! Profundity!
There are no organisational manager Platos and Aristotles, who sit at the foundations of Western thought. There are no ancient Grek and Roman style busts of organisational managers – not yet. There are no old master’s paintings of ancient organisational managers in some Athens agora. No Organisational Management Hobbeses or Rousseaus opening up entire fields of study. We organisational managers don’t have anything of the prestige. Poor old us. But we cope, philosopher. We do just fine, on our palatial campuses. The pendulum’s swing in our direction now. D, do you think it’ll ever swing back?
