Article Abstract:
When businesses emphasize organizational aspects of corporations, the result is analytical management; when businesses emphasize people over organization, the result could be a new concept, here referred to as the 'metapreneur'. The organizations that employ metapreneur management styles are referred to as 'metaprises'. These managers and companies concentrate on the human aspects of organizations, identified as thinking, feeling and doing, in order to develop new methods of leadership. Leadership styles can be classified by the leader's activity; there are leaders who are doers, feelers, thinkers, 'willpowers', organizers, intuiters, or creators. All forms of leadership (and management) are required by metaprises. The organizational structure of the metaprise, examples of metapreneurial leadership and developing metapreneurs are discussed.

Article Abstract:
Counseling in the workplace has become a more popular topic of discussion and research in recent years as redundancy counseling has arisen and more training courses have become available to teach counseling skills. Term counseling continues to be used increasingly to the point where a considerable amount of confusion and controversy has occurred as to the effectiveness of counseling and whether counseling skills are being applied correctly. The role of such counseling in the workplace is shown to be important through the detrimental impact of psychological problems of individuals on the organization, with it estimated in 1979 that 40 million working days were lost through minor illness related to depression and anxiety, compared to ten million as a result of industrial injury and disease.
