Darwin in Forbes

Interesting application of Darwinian thinking to management in this Forbes Magazine article by Ron Heifetz and others.

The only trouble is, if they were truly Darwinian, managers would try just anything, knowing that their false starts would be eliminated by selection: they'd be selected out to bankruptcy, just like Lehman Bros! Not Good. In fact, good management requires creativity (purposefully) and intelligent design!

That's because reality is not Darwinian, it includes purpose, will and intelligence!
