Accordingly, ethical and applicationconsiderations are critically important in addressing workforce analytics and leadership.Historical perspective is useful to this topic33. In the early 1900s, scientific management was thepredominant approach to organizing work. It involved dissecting steps in production, and thencontinually optimizing these steps to maximize productivity.
