In 1911, Frederick Taylor wrote: “In the past, man has been first; in
the future, the system must be first." His book became the Bible of
modern management, and firms spent almost a century attempting to
subordinate human beings to systems and processes.
The Storytelling Weekend at the Smithsonian and the 4H Center on April
16-18 is dedicated to the opposite proposition, namely, that people
are more important than systems. It's about a different way of
communicating about work, a different way of looking at work, a
different way of thinking about work, a different way of managing, a
different way of leading. It’s not too much to say that we are talking
about a profound mental revolution. This is a passionate effort to
create a better workplace.

the Hollywood mogul and storytelling guru, and also one of the
