Excerpted from John H. Shamley, CCP, Vice President, Human
Resources, Keeler Brass Automotive Group, ACA News, September 1992
Jaques is a wholly original management thinker. He has such books to his
credit as Requisite Organization, A General Theory of Bureaucracy,
Creativity and Work, Measurement of Responsibility, and the Changing Culture
of a Factory. In [Executive Leadership], he and co-author Clement take an
approach that differs from the traditional, action-centered American stance
and the feeling-centered Japanese stance. Their approach can be expressed as
a broader European thought-centered stance that concentrates on the
individual worker's maturation.
This book is not a rehash
of tired concepts and principles... there is much that is new and
substantive to challenge the readers' paradigms.
