Additional information/useful adjunct
Dr. Lynn Walker of Walker Management Psychologists is
developing a management process called Boundary Management®. Dr. Walker and this
author developed versions of this thesis over a period of years while working with mutual
clients. Boundary Management® and Limit Theory™ are both based on John
Carver's work (The Policy Governance Fieldbook, Boards That Make A Difference: A New
Design for Leadership in Non-Profit and Public Organizations). They lead to the concept
that managing outcomes is best served by clearly defining the desired outcome and
establishing behavioral limits around the persons asked to produce those outcomes, but
clearly not directing their every action. In this manner, the full creativity and
resources of the employee can be unleashed. See
Boundary Management®.
