The
current HBR has a case written by Senior Editor Bronwyn Fryer called "The
Layoff," which presents a difficult challenge much like that faced by
many executives, and includes comments by Laurence J. Stybel, Maryann Peabody, Jürgen Dormann, and me. I think it does a pretty good job of both
showing how hard it is to be boss right now and of showing some of the worst
pitfalls to avoid. HBR has weird policies about when and how much stuff
the provide online, and what they charge for and don't charge for — the text is here, free to read at least for now. There is also an executive here, along with the summaries for the rest of the current issue.
