Management Theory | Princess Lyka Lopez

Throughout history, several management theories which developed in the 1900s to 2000s
are put into practice and people use them in the workplace until now. Due to continuous work
disengagement in the modern era, people compromising two or more existing management
theories two create a different approach including Modern Management Theory which combines
Management Science and Organizational Environment Theories. However, is it still applicable
and suitable for our latest issues and trends?
Our world is constantly growing and moving at an amazingly fast pace, the same as with
management principles and concepts. Today, there is a need to reconsider management theories
and approaches to boost the workplace performance of leaders and employees, individuals, or
organizations. Petriglieri, a management professor, asserted that new theories are nowhere to be
found and are affecting us in our everyday experience, regardless of age, and whether you are a
manager or not. Someone can be filled with rage at the system, as well as mistrust, loneliness, and
devoid of purpose.
In 2007, Michael Lee Stallard et.al, presented a paper entitled “Theory C: Connection
Culture as a New Theory of Management” where they suggest the next step to develop an
organizational culture that fosters a sense of connection, and unity by cultivating behavior,
including attitudes, languages, and norms, which reflect universal character strengths and qualities.
It also incorporates the learned theories and principles over the previous century (the 1900s to
2000s). Theory C, or the Connection Culture Theory, has core elements that can be defined simply
and remarkably as the 3V Leadership Model, Vision + Value + Voice = Connection.
Vision: Exists when everyone in an organization shares the same purpose and
set of beliefs, is motivated by the organization’s mission, is united by values,
and is proud of its reputation.
Value: It means that people are truly valued. Everyone in an organization
recognizes the universal nature of humans, recognizes each person's unique
contribution, and assists them to realize their full potential. Value also includes
protecting people from abuses...actions that make people feel disconnected
from their community because it failed to protect them.
Voice: Everyone participates in an open, honest, and safe environment. To
understand one another and produce innovations, the shared ideas, and opinions
of the members are sought and considered which meet the human needs for
respect, recognition, and belonging.

Positive psychology research has discovered twenty-four-character strengths that are


universal across cultures and religions. These character characteristics are believed to improve
mental and physical wellness in organizations. The Character>Connection>Thrive Chain below
demonstrates how everything fits together and represented the future of leadership formation and
continuing education.

Management Theory | Princess Lyka Lopez

Today, a connection is much needed, valuing relationships in an organization or workplace


to provide a sense of well-being, reduce stress, and make us more trusting, as contrasted to feeling
unsupported, and lonely. One of the most powerful and least understood aspects of business is how
a feeling of connection between management, employees, and customers provides a competitive
advantage. Unless the people who are part of a business feel a sense of connection—a bond that
promotes trust, cooperation, and esprit de corps—they will never reach their potential as
individuals, nor will the organization.
Given the other management theories developed in the late 2000s, from my perspective,
this new management theory hits differently as it is more concise, practical, and motivating,
especially in today’s era where a higher rate of people is struggling with anxiety, depression, stress,
and disconnection. It is a critical aspect of success. Usually, in management and business,
connections to the leaders, employees, and clients were overlooked, creating disengagement which
disrupts and damages an individual and an organization. Other management focuses on power,
control, status, and influence. Also, there are busy organizations that are separated from
indifference and do not engage in relationships. These approaches cannot develop supportive,
cooperative, and collaborative associations, only Connection Culture excels at relationships. While
people feel connected, they became more emphatic, creative, optimistic, and better decision-
makers leading to productivity, innovations, and a new source of competitive advantage. As a
future architect, such practice is suitable for construction management especially in
communicating and dealing with contractors and clients. Not only a firm and proficient
organization will be built, but also an innovative, sustainable, and desirable world will be
established.
