Managers matter less than we think: how can organizations function without any middle management?
Journal of Organization Design - Tập 12 - Trang 19-25 - 2022
Are managers necessary for organizations? Could organizations function without them? To answer, we must separate between two questions: are top managers necessary? And are middle managers necessary? I argue that larger organizations are prone to need someone to have oversight of the wholeness and to take responsibility for its design and development. Given the dedication and time commitment needed......
