As a specific example from the original article, searching for:
link:samizdat.com -site:samizdat.com
on Google yields the external links only for the author's website.
One of my problems with Google is that it limits your search to 10 terms. Usually I'm below the limit but sometimes narrowing a search to just what I want causes me to exceed the limit.

For a while now I have wished colleges would offer a degree in management. It would entail both business courses and psychology courses to give management the ability to deal with employees as both "resources" and "people."... and I ain't talkin' no crummy MBA, either.
Of course, this only addresses part of the problem. It would probably help out managers who deal with workers directly, but it kinda neglects the "upper management" who are often blamed for bad decisions. I don't know if that can be fixed...
As for the points of the original inquisitor, I think penny-wise, pound-foolish corporate cultures can be influenced from below. (I'll use the software industry... apply it as you can to other industries.) If you can get into a place where the programmers refuse to do the quick fix, things turn around pretty quick. I've been one to fall into that trap, but I always end up feeling better, looking better, and not being fired if I buck up and refuse to do the quick fix. It gets to be kinda fun too.
