Popis:	Roads and paths are symbols that are omnipresent in organizational thought. As such they are the hallmarks of the modernist legacy. It is argued that roads are not necessarily trustworthy and that the labyrinth through which they are supposed to guide us is more innocent than modernism suggests. The article raises many questions about, inter alia, the importance of narratives and fairy tales, the (im)possibility of criticism, the labyrinthine aspects of traffic jams, the necessity to rethink dynamics, the bureaucratic labyrinth, and Nietzsche's eternal return. The point of the entire exercise is, however, quite straightforward: as organizational scholars, we are to give up our lupophobia, that is, our fear of wolves, if we are to develop entirely different understandings of organizational phenomena.
