Difficulties in Management
==Difficulties in Management==
Managers are evaluated by other members of the group, and especialy by higher ranck managers, to their [[able people|ability to "make things happen"]]. Because managers are promoted by their precived ability they may tend to show-off their abilities in extravagnat ways. It was shown that narcissists tend to become leaders and are perceived as leaders, by other members of the group<ref>[http://www.myweb.ttu.edu/kdemarre/pdfs/BGCHKD.2008.PSPB.pdf Brunell, Amy B., et al. "Leader emergence: The case of the narcissistic leader." Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin 34.12 (2008): 1663-1676.]‏</ref>.Narcissists are overconfident and less empathic then ordinary people. It was found by some research (that I couldn't find) that overconfident are more likely to get hired then less confident managers, and this causes the bias toward overconfident managers. They will try to look important, and very-busy. They will connect to the higher rancks managment, and they will show that they have good connections to higher powers in the organization. They will use exclusive knowledge, as an advantage to manipulate the system to their needs, while preventing from non-colation mambers this knowledge. They will use this knowledge as a resource in exchange to other benefits.
I suspect that Managers in big organizations will be more of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_A_and_Type_B_personality_theory A type] (also called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_%28ethology%29 alpha dominance] or '''doers'''). The Type A managers will be goal orinted and there fore will stress the system.They will consult less with their workers.
