Scott closed his thoughtful LO post LO23447 with:

>In the words of one company president of the latter group, in a management
>retreat where he was asked to share his thoughts on employee involvement
>and organizational development, he said to all his managers:

> "That is like asking the vegetables how to design a refrigerator."

>Think they had any turnover?

I once heard an HR director say about employee involvement:

"That's like letting the inmates run the prison"

A striking simile for employees at a University.
