Industrial-Age Management Styles
What are the qualities of industrial-age management?
1, “Top-down,” meaning success and innovation begin with managers and are passed down to subordinates
2, Formal hierarchies in which employees are assigned specific roles
3, The organization is seen as a person whose “head” (i.e., managers)
do the thinking and the “hands” (i.e., subordinates) do the work
As you might’ve guessed, these attributes aren’t sustainable for
contemporary organizations. Today’s industries are diverse,
multi-cultural, and must be agile enough to keep up with constant
changes in technology and communication. More and more, people see the
“head and hands” approach as restrictive, petty, and tyrannical.
