ABSTRACT

Traditional business school doctrine for decades in America was one which professed lines of authority, lines of responsibility and accountability. There are even studies on traditional management styles and hierarchies Heads versus Hands which show them doing more damage to the overall organizational growth in the long term. There are ways to turn this flow of percentages around and stimulate inner activity among players for greater success and rewards. What the new view of organizational structure (whether called teams, work groups, self directed work groups, etc.) advocates is an image of team and player equality. Traditional management focused upon the effective and efficient use of resources in one's environment to accomplish desired results. Among these interaction maps (habits, styles, techniques, strategies) is the need to have developed and understood mission statements.
