Abstract

The article presents abstracts on management. This paper reports on an industrially led research project supported by Great Britain's Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council which set out to tackle an increasingly pressing issue for organizations, how to measure and manage the performance of teams. It describes a typology for team performance measurement system (TPMS) design and identifies the gaps of current TPMS approaches. Authors J. Gosling and H. Mintzberg assert that management without leadership encourages an uninspired style which deadens activities and leadership without management encourages a disconnected style which promotes hubris. An effective manager is able to integrate all five types of management into the daily work. One of a three-part series that focuses on the classic theories and news studies on why people need meaningful work and the implications for organizations. As a result, the best employers are not great because of their perks and benefits but because of their organizational cultures and policies that promote meaningful work and a nurturing, supportive workplace.
