Haz que los buenos se queden contigo Retener el talento y asegurarse de que los trabajadores estén comprometidos y se sientan valorados es la eterna preocupación de muchas empresas. Los empleados quieren y esperan tener un trabajo significativo, jefes que los apoyen, reconocimiento y la oportunidad de aprender y crecer profesionalmente. Está comprobado que son los jefes y directores quienes tienen una mayor influencia en que quienes están bajo su mando se involucren con la empresa y sean más productivos…, y también en desalentar a los mejores empleados de tal forma que no les quede más remedio que buscar nuevos horizontes. A través de 26 estrategias tan simples como efectivas, Beverly Kaye y Sharon Jordan-Evans resaltan los comportamientos que todo jefe debe tener para evitar que sus mejores empleados se desvinculen de la empresa. Una obra práctica y amena, llena de ejemplos e ideas para mantener contentos a los trabajadores y evitar que se los lleve la competencia, se abran camino por su cuenta o decaiga su compromiso con la empresa.

In 1973 Mintzberg published the results of an observational study of the work of five top executives. From extensive records of mail and oral interactions, he induced ten basic managerial roles. This study builds on Mintzberg's work by 1) using his framework of roles and rich descriptions of managerial activities to develop a survey instrument; 2) using item analysis, confirmed by factor analysis on a hold-out sample, to refine and evaluate the instrument; and 3) using the instrument to explore the relationship of each managerial role to managerial level and function.

Leadership as a Design Problem

Two assumptions common in leadership research are questioned. The first is that leadership always matters; the second that a leader's style should be the critical variable in leadership research. It is suggested that these assumptions should be central questions, the answers to which involve environmental and organizational variables. The potential is asking different questions is illustrated by examples of environmental and structural factors which influence leadership. Because these factors are in part determined by organizational design issues, leadership can be viewed as a design problem. Consideration also is given to how leaders might reduce the demands for personal leadership of subordinates by restructuring their work groups. Structural interventions in task, reward, feedback, and power distributions can serve as substitute for leadership, and leaders can be viewed as designers. The paper concludes that leadership is not the sterile conceptual area that some authors have suggested. Going beyond leader-subordinate frameworks, considering both macro and micro approaches, and asking different questions are promising ways to tackle the elusive leadership concept.

Looking at Leadership

Autor: Michael M. Lombardo

Número de Páginas: 54

This paper reviews some of what is known about leadership, focusing on the data collected about the nature of managerial work. These findings point to the unrelenting pace and capricious, fragmented, and oral nature of the job. Three dimensions are presented as useful in understanding managerial performance: complexity/simplicity, use of structures, and use of power. A way to study leaders is to simulate the variety of stimuli confronting them and observe how their activities relate to effectiveness in the use of these dimensions. A typology is suggested for doing this.

Fixing Relationships Through Joint Action

Autor: Robert E. Kaplan

Número de Páginas: 58

When a work relationship comes down with a problem, why is it so uncommon for the parties affected to talk the problem through? Why do the people so much prefer to swallow their discontent or ventilate it to friends instead of taking it to the source? Why is confronting relationship problems as aversive a task for managers as giving a performance appraisal to a marginally performing subordinate? The answers are not as simple as the questions may imply, and this paper is devoted to explaining why people in organizations avoid their interpersonal problems and how confrontation can be used to repair work relationships.
