New Management Theory
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.
