I then wrote to LWL as follows ... and I'd give this advice to anyone, too!! Dear LWL, Overnight someone wrote to me asking about management styles and cultures and you can see my responses in my online journal: go to www.duncanwil.co.uk/Weblog/blogindex.html to see what I told Nick. It's not a full page with discussion and examples but you might find them useful. I have just started Blogging and am using my journal to report things like this as I find it so convenient: the address will always be the same, I think, so visit it regularly. Hope you find it at least a bit useful. Best wishes Duncan DW
