Douglas McGregor wrote The Human Side of Enterprise in 1960. He quickly became know
as the father of Theory X and Theory Y-theories of managerial leadership that portrayed
managers as authoritarian (Theory X) or as collaborative and trustful of people (Theory Y).
1. Do you believe that people are trustworthy?
2. Do you believe that people seek responsibility and accountability?
3. Do you believe that people seek meaning in their work?
4. Do you believe that people naturally want to learn?
5. Do you believe that people don't resist change but they resist being changed?
6. Do you believe that people prefer work to being idle?
Real achievement means inevitably a worthy and virtuous task. To do some idiotic job very
well is certainly not real achievement. I like my phrasing, "What is not worth doing is not
worth doing well."
