An insipid review from the FT of Maccoby's book Review: ‘Strategic Intelligence’, by Michael Maccoby

A skilful manager or leader will give employees something more inspiring to think about in place of fear. “When people are fearful,” Maccoby writes, “they may comply, but they don’t take the initiative. You will never drive out all fear from hierarchical organisations. People are wary of bosses who can hurt them. But by increasing fear you will squash any chance of creating a learning organisation.”

You can say that again.
