Introducing T-shaped management{{/B}} Despite their
best efforts, most companies continue to squander what may be their greatest
asset in today's knowledge economy. I am referring to the wealth of expertise,
ideas and latent insights that lie scattered across or deeply embedded in their
organisations. This seems a great shame, because capitalising on those
intellectual resources - using existing knowledge to improve performance or
combining strands of knowledge to create something altogether new - can help
companies respond to a surprising array of challenges, from fending off smaller,
nimbler rivals to integrating businesses that have been forced together in a
merger. {{U}} (9) {{/U}} I suggest another approach, one
that requires managers to change their behaviour and the way they spend their
time. The approach is novel but, when properly implemented, quite powerful. I
call it T-shaped management. T-shaped management relies on a new
kind of executive, one who breaks out of the traditional corporate hierarchy to
share knowledge freely across the organisation (the horizontal part of the T)
while remaining fiercely committed to individual business unit performance (the
vertical part). {{U}}(10) {{/U}} Although this tension is most acute for
heads of business units, any T- shaped manager with operating unit obligations
must wrestle with it. You might ask, why rely so heavily on
managers to share knowledge? Why not just institute a state-of-the-art knowledge
management system? The trouble is that those systems are best at transferring
explicit knowledge; for example, the template needed to perform a complicated
but routine task. {{U}}(11) {{/U}} In fact, this implicit knowledge
sharing is crucial to the success of innovation-driven companies.
Furthermore, merely moving documents around can never engender the degree
of collaboration that is needed to generate new insights. {{U}}(12)
{{/U}} Effective T-shaped managers will benefit companies of
almost any size, but they're particularly crucial in large corporations where
operating units have been granted considerable autonomy. Although giving
business units greater freedom generally increases accountability and spurs
innovation, it can also lead to competition between units, which may hoard,
rather than share, expertise. {{U}}(13) {{/U}} So, how
do you successfully cultivate T-shaped managers and capitalise on the value they
can create? Energy giant BP Amoco provides some provocative answers. My in-depth
examination of their management practices highlighted five specific types of
value that T-shaped managers can generate. {{U}}(14) {{/U}} It is
important to follow these, because the benefits of T-shaped management will not
be realised if the concept is poorly implemented. Senior executives must put in
place mechanisms that simultaneously promote and discipline managers'
knowledge-sharing activities. A However, direct personal contact is
more typically needed to effectively transfer the kind of knowledge that must be
creatively applied to particular business problems or opportunities.B
For that, companies really have to bring people together to
brainstorm.C Many companies have tried, with mixed success, to
leverage this underused asset by centralising knowledge management functions or
by investing heavily in knowledge management technology.D The entire
history of the T-shaped manager is one of evolution, a process that continues to
this day.E The successful T-shaped manager must learn to live with,
and ultimately thrive within, the stress created by this dual
responsibility.F By encouraging collaboration, a T-shaped management
system can be a powerful counterbalance to such negative behaviour.G
Their experience also suggests guidelines for creating an environment in
which T-shaped managers will flourish.H I am referring to the wealth
of expertise, ideas and latent insights that lie scattered across or deeply
embedded in their organisations.

John Adair{{/B}}Adair is the pioneering British thinker in
the theory of leadership. He was the first person in the UK to hold a
professorship in Business Leadership and has published a series of influential
books on the subject.Despite his quiet appearance, Adair has had a colourful
life, serving in a Bedouin regiment and working on an Arctic fishing boat! His
initial interest in leadership came from his army experience and he used to
lecture at the highly prestigious academy where British army officers are
trained. He now works as an international consultant.{{B}}B
Edward de Bono{{/B}}De Bono is unusual among major 'gurus'
for two reasons: firstly, he was born not in one of the great industrial nations
but on the tiny island of Malta. Secondly, his ideas have reached a wider
audience than just managers, so that his books have become essential reading in
many different disciplines.Most of de Bono's work has been concerned with
the way human beings can train themselves to think more creatively. This
apparently simple idea has resulted in 37 books and a highly successful career
as a lecturer and consultant.{{B}}C
Peter Drucker{{/B}}Probably no other single thinker has done
as much as Drucker to establish management as a serious area of study.
Certainly, his fellow management thinkers consider him one of the 'founding
fathers' of the discipline, and his books and articles are quoted more than
those of any other management writer.His first book was published as far
back as 1939, yet he is still writing and teaching. His greatest distinction has
been his ability to predict coming trends in business and economics. As a
result, his ideas are treated with the greatest respect and
interest.{{B}}D
Frederick Herzberg{{/B}}Although relatively few contemporary
management students will have read his books, Herzberg's name is instantly
recognisable to anyone who has studied industrial organisations. This is because
the American psychologist was responsible for introducing the concept of
'motivation' into management thinking.As a young man, Herzberg became deeply
interested in mental illness and the human need for mental and emotional
satisfaction. This led him to criticise the approach of many companies to job
design, and to argue for the need for 'job enrichment' to stimulate employees'
efforts.{{B}}E
Tom Peters{{/B}}The American's reputation was created in the
1980s by the spectacular success of one book, In Search of Excellence,
co-written with Robert Waterman. The two were working together as management
consultants and no-one expected their first (and only) book to end up selling 5
million copies worldwide!Although his ideas have been criticised, Peters'
popularity as a speaker and writer has continued to grow. So much so that Peters
has created his own business to market books, videos and consultancy based on
his work.

改错题0. Leadership is not about getting to do what they want to. If they did what TO
00. they want, you wouldn''t be needed as a leader. Instead, leadership is about getting CORRECT
41. people to do what they don''t want to do (or don''t think they can do so)—and be
42. ardently committed to doing it. This paradox lies at the heart of all great leadership.
43. Unlike management, about which involves simply the care and feeding of your
44. organizational elephant, great leadership gets that elephant to jump up. Anyone
45. who knows anything about elephants knows about that they may run, they may
46. stand on their hind legs, and they may kneel on their fore legs, they may roll over;
47. but they don''t jump. And that''s what leadership is all about its getting organizations
48. to do what they usually can''t do, i.e., getting out great results consistently. Now,
49. you can''t do the jumping yourself. The elephant must do it out. You can''t push the
50. elephant into the air. It must jump out of its own volition. Making the elephant
51. jump involves that cultivating a special relationship between the leader and the
52. people of the organization. Many misunderstand that relationship. They try to use fear and pain to spur the activity needed to achieve consistently great results. "Sure, I''ll get this elephant to jump. Just give me a cattle prod!" But inducing fear and pain are habit forming and ultimately destructive both to the leader and the people.
