Excerpt from Jane Cooney, President, Books for
Business, Business Quarterly, Spring 1997
Jaques' handbook to better hierarchy, Requisite Organization, professes
that, although red tape and rigidity are symptoms of dysfunction, properly
structured, bureaucratic hierarchy can liberate human creativity. He further
states that once you start employing other people, some form of bureaucratic
hierarchy, or what Jaques refers to as a managerial accountability hierarchy
(MAH), is not only necessary, but natural.
Jaques' ideas are based on
complex theories of work, knowledge and human nature that revolve around the
notion that structure is more important than personality and that detailed
attention to exact roles and responsibilities within a corporation leads to
more satisfied employees and a more successful, efficient corporation.
Requisite Organization is a
management book that puts the emphasis back on managers his theories could
be a godsend for any manager tired of magic nostrums for corporate success.
