Yes, here and there management is beginning to change, emerge towards something new and different. I am thinking the point re: the question in the title of this post is to probe whether or not the core/central tenets of management philosophy (or said another way, the dominant paradigm of management today in most organizations) need to re-defined in light of interconnected networks of smart people engaged in purposeful work .. people who are working smarter and therefore will demand to be the subject(s) and object(s) of 'management' in different ways.

It may be that you've only read this post and not some or many of Harold's other posts. He is a thought leader in describing in practical and actionable terms what are some of the key elements and principles towards which 'management' is emerging (my opinion).
