Liderlik ve Yönetim: Teori Var Pratik Yok?

Bu makalede 21. yüzyıldaki liderlik ve yöneticilikle ilgili yanlışların neler olduğunu sorguladım. Örneğin, uzun yıllardır yapılan araştırmalarla yönetim kuramı ve uygulamalarının yararları gösterilmesine rağmen neden hala çok sayıda kötü yönetilen kuruluş bulunmaktadır? Modern iş uygulamalarının 19. ve 20. yüzyılın bilimsel yönetiminden sapan bir dönüşüm olmadığını, fakat bunun yerine meslekleri içerecek şekilde el emeğiyle yapılan işin ötesinde, kendi kurallarını/prensiplerini genişletme olduğunu iddia etmekteyim. Bu, sağlık ve eğitim de dahil olmak üzere, daha çok sosyal yönü olan ve problemli insan kaynakları uygulamaları ile kendini gösteren bir ilişki içindedir. Bunlar, uzman yöneticiler/ liderler yerine daha eğitimsiz olanların atanmasını sağlayan iltimasçılığın çeşitli şekilleridir. Şimdi, bu eğitimsiz yöneticilerin/ liderlerin hem örgütlere/kurumlara hem de topluma getirdiği maliyetlerin ölçülmesine başlamanın zamanıdır.

Leadership and Management: All Theory No Practice?

In this paper I ask what is wrong with 21st century leadership and management. For example, why, when there exists the benefits of decades of research into management theory and practice, are so many organizations so poorly managed and led? I suggest that modern work practices are not a departure from those of the 19th and 20th century scientific management but rather an extension of their principles beyond manual work to include the professions. This is related to the corporate takeover of more social domains, including health and education, and the associated problematic human resource practices which predominate. They include various forms of favouritism which ensure the appointment of uneducated rather than expertmanagers/leaders. It is time to start measuring the cost to both organizations and society, of uneducated managers/leaders.
