Beyond Empowerment: Building a Company of CitizensBrook Manville / Josiah OberThe authors describe life in Athens 2,500 years ago in some detail and propose this as a model or template for a more democratic system of management, in which employees take a more active role in the running of the company.
Fair Process: Managing in the knowledge EconomyW. Chan Kim / Renée Mauborgne First printed in 1997, the article investigates the impact on motivation when employees lose their trust in managers to make good decisions or to behave with integrity. And although neither integrity nor good judgement can be magically conferred on all managers in an organisation, if it can be shown that fair processes have been used to reach a decision, this can go a long way to restoring employee trust.
How to Motivate Your Problem PeopleNigel NicholsonA lot of employees are low maintenance self-starters. But following the 80:20 rule, it´s the 20% of difficult ones that take 80% of the average managers time. The article gives some insight into how managers can get these people to follow their lead ?
Management by Whose Objectives?Harry Levinson Originally written in 1970, this article talks very critically about the whole concept of Management by Objectives, essentially condemning the process to failure. Many of the reasons for failure are plausible – which makes it all the more astounding that many organizations are still trying to make the system work some 30 years later!
Moving MountainsA review of 12 different motivational challenges and solutions and how these were dealt by a selection of leaders from very varied walks of life, ranging from typical big corporation CEO´s to a high school teacher and a champion dog sled racer.
One More Time: How Do You Motivate Employees?Frederick HerzbergThe author critically reviews various motivational trends, presents the core findings of his research into factors affecting job attitudes and motivation and then goes on to present the concept of job enrichment as a motivational tool.
Power is the Great MotivatorDavid C. McClelland / David H. BurnhamOriginally published in 1976, the authors define three motivational groups into which managers can be categorised: affiliative managers, achievement managers and institutional managers. The third group are the most successful and the article goes onto describe, amongst other things, why this is so.
Pygmalion in ManagementJ. Sterling LivingstonOriginally published in 1969, the article discusses the level of influence that managers´ expectations have on the job performance and career progression of their subordinates. A classic case of the self-fulfilling prophecy - the higher the expectations the higher the performance.
The Best-Laid Incentive PlansSteve KerrFrom the HBR Case Study series, the article describes a series of new performance management and incentive initiatives introduced into a company by the new Chief Financial Officer, and the unfortunate results of these initiatives.
