Management by Spontaneity.

Olson, Richard M.; Thomas, M. Donald

School Administrator, v56 n11 p41-45 Dec 1999

Management by spontaneity shuns job descriptions, supervisory duties, needs assessment, strategic planning, group process, and problem solving. Not for the fainthearted, MBS requires knowledge of psychology, lawyerly skills, and philosophic wisdom. MBS remains untested, as current job descriptions have confined authors to MBO and TQM. (MLH)
