Article about Charles Handy's upbringing, work, and his role in the intellectual management world. The article begins discussing Handy's reputation as a leading management guru, and how he was the first modern thinker to ask challenging questions on a variety of issues. It goes on to talk about Handy's career accomplishments and the content of the books he's written, with a particular emphasis on his idea of the shamrock organization, which allows employee resources to be concentrated in the areas where they are most needed. In closing and summary, the article highlights Handy's convictions concerning how personal welfare is more important than profit in life, and how managers are moral human beings. Handy thus calls for a sense of ethics in guiding all business undertakings and organizational theorizing and practices.
