“A sense of humor
is part of the art of
leadership, of getting
along with people,
of getting things done.”
Eisenhower, President Dwight David
 “I have the same goal
I’ve had every since I
was a girl. I want to

“ After a continuous search,

since 1900, for what makes a good leader,
there is still no comprehensive theory of
leadership, no clear knowledge of about
what good leaders do that is unique, or
understanding of how to select leaders. ’’

Pirsig
The reading material is taken from “Zen and the Art of Motor Cycle Maintenance: An
Inquiry into Values”. The author, Robert Pirsig, began a college science course but
increasingly became interested in philosophical approaches. In his late thirties,
Pirsig was institutionalised as mentally ill. The book was written after his discharge
whilst the author was attempting to “discover himself”. The setting is a motorcycle
trip across the USA that he embarks upon with his son Chris and two friends. He
adopts the name “Phaedras” when he reflects back on his life and illness. The book
has developed a cult following, particularly in technical/communication courses and
has sold over 3 million copies.
Study the extracted pages thoroughly and form an opinion on what main ideas Pirsig
is promoting. Identify the relevance of these ideas to technical management.

Posner
This paper, written by Barry Posner, an American academic, was published in the
American “Project Management Journal” in early 1987. It reports the author’s
