A new malady is running rampantly in corporate America: management phobia. Many people don’t want to be manager, and many people who are managers are itching to jump off the management track—or have already. "I hated all the meetings," says a 10-year award-winning manager, "And I found the more you did for people who worked for you, the more they expected. I was a counselor, motivator, financial adviser and psychologist. "
With technology changing in a wink, we can never slack off these days if we’re on the technical side. It’s a rare person who can manage to keep up on the technical side and handle a management job, too. In addition, with Scott Adams’ popular cartoon character as well as many television situation comedies routinely portraying managers as morons or enemies, they just don’t get much respect anymore.
Supervising others was always a tough task, but in the past that stress was offset by hopes for career mobility and financial rewards. Along with a sizable pay raise, people chosen as managers would begin a nearly automatic climb up the career ladder to lucrative executive
perks
: stock options, company cars, club memberships, plus the key to executive washroom. But in today’s global, more competitive arena, a manager sits on an insecure perch. Restructuring has eliminated layer after layer of management as companies came to view their organizations as collections of competencies rather than hierarchies. There are far fewer rungs on the corporate ladder for managers to climb. In addition, managerial jobs demand more hours and headaches than ever before but offer slim financial paybacks and perks.
In an age of entrepreneurship, when the most praised people in business are those launching something new, management seems like an invisible, thankless role. Employers are looking for people who can do things, not for people who make other people do things. Management layoffs have done much to erode interest in managerial jobs.
With more people wary of joining management, are corporations being hurt or worrying about developing future leaders? Not many are. While employers have dismissed a lot of managers, they believe a surplus lingers on at many companies. Another reason companies aren’t short of managers, contends Robert Kelley, a Carnegie Mellon University business professor, "is that so many workers today are self-managed, either individually or via teams, you don’t need a manager. "
The 10-year award-winning manager suggests that
选项
A、managerial jobs demand more hours and offer more headaches.
B、managers should not do too much beyond the scope of his job.
C、being a manager requires many other skills besides management.
D、a person can get a lot of development in a management role.
答案
C
解析
这位连续十年受到嘉奖的经理的话表明[A]经理职位需要付出更多的时间、遇到更多的麻烦事。[B]经理不应过多干涉其职权范围之外的事情。[C]除了管理技能之外,经理还需要具备很多其他才能。[D]经理职位能让一个人得到很多历练。这位经理说“我要同时扮演顾问、动员者、财务顾问和心理咨询师的角色。”也就是说,经理除了会管理之外,还需要具备很多其他才能。所以正确答案为[C]。[A]“经理职位需要付出更多的时间”不是这位经理说的,所以不正确;[B]在原文中并没有明确表达出来;该经理所表达的是对自己工作的不满,所以[D]表述的正面含义是不对的。
