On the Working Week this week, Wayne talks to regular Management-issues contributor, Philip Whiteley, about management's continuing obsession with finance and financial metrics at the expense of all the other inputs that drive them.

They discuss the tyranny of quarterly results that can push organisations into making decisions that are damaging to them in the medium to long term, and explore the fundamental misconception that only financial measures are 'real' and others are nebulous

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