While researching some journals this weekend I came across an interesting quote regarding management. The area of my paper deals with the difference results from quantitative versus qualitative data when discussing objectives of management. The quote is from Charles Handy. I was surprised that the date of publication was 1989. When I first read the quote I felt it was strongly related to the post-COVID working environment. His words ring as true today as they did 36 years ago.

"the language of management has undergone a significant evolution from that of of engineers, which talk about models, systems, control and steering, to the language of politicians, which revolves around cultures, networks, coalitions, power and leadership."
