The original one is from Kur...This is famous idea!! The original one is from Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord, German general in WW2. See this webpage:<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_von_Hammerstein-Equord#Biography<br />In Japan, many people believe that is a idea from Johannes Friedrich Leopold von Seeckt, which is wrong. The following webpage is a Japanese one:<br />http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%8F%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9%E3%83%BB%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%83%BB%E3%82%BC%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF%E3%83%88#.E3.82.BC.E3.83.BC.E3.82.AF.E3.83.88.E3.81.AE.E7.B5.84.E7.B9.94.E8.AB.96<br /><br />..Apart from this, I think similar problems happen in baseball quite often. A smart and industrious person sometimes becames a very good player, however, sometimes it will be big disaster if he becomes manager. Shigeo Nagashima, Atsuya Furuta..etc. One of the biggest reasons of this problem is, I think, because "managing someone" requires another talent, as Peter Drucker said. The smart and industrious person is very good as a player, but if he starts to behave as a boss, he must bahave in different manner. <br /><br />Another problem about it is character of this person. The smart and industrious person often has a "competitive (aggressive?)" character, which is bad character for boss. Boss must not compete with staffs, as he must observe staffs calmly and must think about managing.. The smart and lazy person sometimes behaves quite good in this aspect, as he does not want to compete with staffs...(If he is really competitive, he has already became a smart and industrious person!!)<br /><br />I think this is old, but also new problem.. To saying something about management is easy, but when we must manage someone, we must struggle a lot.<br /><br />Peet Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
