This week, Wayne is joined by Tony Watson, Professor of Organisational Behaviour at Nottingham University Business School in the UK.

They explore how endemic insecurity affects the behaviour of managers and how this behaviour can have such an adverse effect on everyone in the organisation. And they discuss one of the most prevailing of management myths, the myth of control.

The intro music to the Working Week is "The Warrior" by The EMP Project, used with permission of Blue Canoe Records.
