Frederick Taylor and the scientific management folks may have been the ones to seperate them (or it happened earlier perhaps with the monks who invented double entry accounting and then went to vespers like they were two seperate activities). What we are seeing perhpas is a shift back to wholeness. Business really is a mix of hard and soft, and so businesspeople need to be this too. And Doug...lovely!

In order to succeed today, people need to have both skill sets in abundance.
