AT THE END OF THIS LECTURE PARTICIPANTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO: Clarify the concepts of management; administration and leadership Compare the three concepts; Explain the four major historical paradigms or frameworks for learning principles of management and leadership; Explain the classical principles with an emphasis on Henri Fayol’s principles Explain the recent developments classifications of management paradigms for learning principles of management CLARIFICATION OF THE BASIC CONCEPTS Management The term, management, may be adopted to refer to four major phenomena. These are management, as a discipline, management as an entity and management as playing a leadership role in an organization, Azelama (2012). Non-technical sense Management as a discipline Management as an entity Management as a process refers to a process, POSDCORB Administration: as a term may be adopted to refer to four major phenomena. These are a discipline, a regime, e.g. Buhari Administration, a categoric group of job holders and as the functions of the executive, as explained under management above. Management and administration can be compared as explained above. It shows that the two concepts mean the same as discipline, a categoric group of employee and functions of the executives. The two areas they cannot be used interchangeably are the non-technical usage as management and administration as a regime. Leadership occurs, according to Bass (1990) when a member of a group modifies the motivation and competence of its other members. Schriesheim, Tolliver 2 Behling, (1978) saw leadership as a social influence where a person (the leader) seeks the voluntary participation of subordinates for efficient attainment of the goals of the organisation These definitions show that: 1. a leader, unlike a ruler, adopts authority or legitimacy and not coercion to attract obedience; 2. every manager or administrator is a leader; 3. a manager plays a formal role, occupies a formal position and operates in line with the dos and don’ts of the position in the organisation; and 4. leadership role can also be played outside a formal organisation Principles of Management Different writers have put forward various principles of management based on different factors. We select a few for discussion in this lecture. The selection is based on four major experiences in learning management principles. These are: management/Leadership Philosophy; classical design/organisation theories; the social approach to organizations; and the behavioural or scientific approach Leadership/rulership thoughts Under classical organisaiton there are the works of bureaucratic organisation by Max Weber, scientific management by Frederick Taylor and Principles of administration by Henri Fayol. The principles under the Weberian bureaucratic organisation are: formalism; written rules; hierarchy; division of work; and Employment and advancement based on merit and career employment A study of these paradigms and principles of management and leadership in them are intended to raise the level of productivity and satisfaction of leaders and the lead and managers and subordinate. In scientific management by Federick Taylor we have: Develop a science for each element of man’s work. Scientifically selected train the workman. Heartily co-operate with the men There is almost an equal division of work and responsibility between management and the workmen.
