Some believe we are subjects of destiny, others such as Mr Bryant, that we create our destiny and the implications of each on management decisions are great.

This is a very philosophical question. Are we controlled by or can we create our fate?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the answer is another question; to what degree?
Certainly many of us could do much more to alter what will otherwise be our fate.
Good question.

One word: pragmatic!
ReplyDeletePragmatism, a great American way of thinking and doing.
Pragmatism and philosophy in the same issue.
