Rules of Management, Written and Otherwise - Posted by Jon Coppelman, Workers Comp Insider
Bill Swanson, CEO of Raytheon, has become famous for his leadership at the company. In an article published in US Black Engineer and available as a PDF at Raytheon's website, Swanson receives high praise for his support of minority engineers. The article also presents his '25 Unwritten Rules of Management.' Not to quibble, but if I can read the rules in this article, what exactly makes them unwritten? You can even request a written copy of the unwritten rules from Raytheon, but be advised that they are currently out of stock.
As part of the Insider's ongoing commitment to keep our readers informed of the latest trends in management philosophy, we are presenting an abbreviated version of Mr. Swanson's 25 rules, with a little annotation, of course.
