Replying to LO15735 --

Doc,

You said,

" I have long described "human resource management as a logistical and
risk management function. I consider the learning organization, though,
as a model--and I don't believe that the term, human resources, describes
the nature of the relationships between people and organization within the
parameters of that model. "

Can you please expand on the last sentence? This sounds like a
potentially rich learning opportunity, at least for me.

Also, you said, "I'll admit that Tom Petzinger's challenge to using the
word empower (was that on this list?) renervated my dislike over using the
term, human resources. "

It was on the other list. I have searched high and low for a definition
of "renervate". What did you mean?
