Unfortunately, managers in organizations are politicians before they are managersو They often think a bout chairmanship, not management.
There are also undesirable behavior patterns in politics, which are found in the management process.
Is it necessary for managers to change as governments change? Regardless of their merits?
what should we really do?
How to separate politics from management?
Because politics or pirate politics may be far easier than proper management.
There is an aspect of selfishness.
Also values. You desire to increase your own position, power, benefits, resources etc instead of that of others.
One way to overcome it may be strict performance evaluation based on contribution and value added - the amount of value the person added and his contribution.
I think this kind of management that you mentioned is somehow relating to those third world countries in which relations become more stronger than criteria or rules in workplace environment.
when no competency is found in managers who are chosen to manage an organization he/she should serve the political stream in order to survive in his or her position. therefore in this condition managers are become slaves of political decisions and can not think beyond the political borders.
I think this is mainly the case in public sector...private sector, to my opinion, can't afford the " luxury" of politicizing over percormance.
i dont think this is limited to 3rd world countries or public sector.
you see this in private sector/ companies too. particularly large organizations.
To analyses theese we have to find in the cultural politic the way to take decisions. Another thing very important to know about that is the impact in the government of the New Public Management, and the importance of the agencification. In the spanish case the political system and the public workers recruit determines the kind of politcal management.
there are at least 5 sources of power: intellect/ knowledge, position, resources, charisma, (cant immediately remember the last one).
this is also typically used to analyze power and power plays in ordinary organizations. your position can give you power.
