points to a bigger issue: a complete lack of understanding of people.
What makes you think they even want this kind of understanding? Not to mention the handwavey vagueness of "understanding people."
- kleer001 7y agoPsychology is the science of understanding people. There's also the burgeoning field of evolutionary psychology. There's nothing handwavey about any of it, at least when it's done well.
- rhizome 7y agoAt a company like McKesson, the only psychology you're likely to encounter is organizational (I/O), and, like psychology in general, many many many people do not believe in it, do not see the value in it, and heed cultural barriers to changing these attitudes. To the degree that I/O psych is a factor in corporate life these days, the vast majority will be a form of Taylorism, which is 100+ years old.
