Management Is Everyone's Business

Abstract
In Lenin's definition, the soviets are the "direct and immediate body of the popular masses and their will" (Poln. sobr. soch., vol. 41, p. 381). By their very nature, the soviets, which are charged directly both with the working out of solutions and their practical implementation, draw not only the entire vast deputy corps but also millions of citizens into management and administration. This is necessary in order to—according to Lenin's definition—thwart any shadow of possibility of perverting soviet power, to uproot the weed of bureaucratism continuously and unflaggingly, and to promote a gradual transition to the functions of legislation and the administration of the state being exercised by each and every one of the entire working population.
