2. Managing is sometimes defined as getting things done through other people. That definition can be interpreted
Question:
2. Managing is sometimes defined as getting things done through other people.
That definition can be interpreted in several ways. James Hayes, a former business school dean once observed, “The [person] who is new to management hears
[the definition] this way: “Management is getting things done through other people.”
Now at last I have a kingdom and someone to work for me. . . . Then [the manager]
can sweep down to [the] subordinate all the nasty jobs. . . . However,
[the manager]
later reaches the point of maturity [and] hears the definition with a different emphasis: “Management is getting things done through other people.”
It is when [the manager]
gets the sense of responsibility for accomplishment that he [or she] is a manager.”
53 What are the differences between these two interpretations and why does Hayes say that one is more mature than the other?
