Challenges facing the deployment of human resources in my firm

Take advantage of the uniqueness conferred on us as a species exhibiting

several intelligences.

The structural perspective argues forputting people in the right roles and relationships. Properly designed, theseformal arrangements can accommodate both collective goals and individual differences.

— Bolman & Deal, 2003
