Destructive Achiever Power And Ethics in the American Corporation

³Destructive Achievers² are managers who sacrifice ethics to efficiency and personal success. They are far more successful at projecting an image of power and authority to top management than in communicating integrity and commitment to their peers and subordinates. Kelly analyzes the unintended negative consequences of common management practices such as Performance Appraisal and Management-by-Objectives. Managers are focused on short-term results and their own personal power instead of on organizational effectiveness and the benefit of the group. We should begin to substitute group problem-solving and supportive confrontation for the power politics that increasingly constitutes business-as-usual in today¹s organization.Kelly, Charles M. is the author of 'Destructive Achiever Power And Ethics in the American Corporation', published 1990 under ISBN 9780756784515 and ISBN 0756784514.
