Theres an emphasis now on participative managing, with everybody sharing the strategic vision of the company, says Eric G. Stephan, a professor of organizational bahavior in BYUs School of Management and director of the Fortune 500 HRD Research Group. Its not just working anymore to simply have a group of workers he says. It has doing a job, become more important for the company itself to articulate its vision its mission statement and then to help people down the line catch that vision. Under the team concept, the value of each individual is held at a premium and the potential of that individual to help resolve issues is valued, explained Gordon E. Mills and R. Wayne Pace, professors of organizational behavior and research group members. Everyone is important in a team, says Mills. Companies need to let workers know they need their services.

A belief that people can and must be able to respond rapidly to economic and technological changes in global competition is high on the list of must-do- s in todays business world, says Mills. Survey respondents were asked to select a single, important topic high-levexecutives should learn, to identify which management techniques are considered most successful, and to point out current methods used to train executives. While a few survey respondents said executives need to beef up their interpersonal skills, a majority said company leaders need help in learning how to solve problems, to make decisions, and to be competitive. Stephan believes the authoritan rian, management style is nearly dead in the corporate top-dow- structure and that pyramid-stylmanagement configurations are beginning to flatten out. Theres a move back now to say, hey maybe its those workers who will determine whether this company will be successful or not, he says. Those workers have a tremendous amount of knowledge that employees didn't have several years ago. Companies need to try to figure out how to use that knowledge through participative team building. Results are reflected in cost savings and performance improvement, together with more effective decision-makincommunication, strategic planning, goal setting, employee participation, and management by objectives, notes Stephan. Out of all of this is born an effort to get back to the human resource, he says. People not technology are the most valuable resource to a company.
