Why Does the World Look More and More Unmanageable?

Abstract: The best managers are born such, and they develop themselves. However, as the needs of practice repeatedly exceed the quantitative biological norm of reproduction of managerial talent, it is necessary managers to be “produced” by education. And this for many reasons turns out to be a real hard work. The most important reason is that the specific expectations and requirements to their qualifications and possessed skills are many, most diverse and situationally required. This explains the discrepancy between universities and colleges educating management specialists, and business and administration hiring those specialists. There is a great difference between an university, which does not know where and what exactly the students will work in the future on one hand, and a directorate, department, division, office, etc., of human resource or personnel management in corporation X or ministry Y, on the other, as the latter should prepare the newly hired and to re-prepare the already employed staff under the very specific and relevant needs of real jobs. In order to rationalize their choices, the real rulers in societies – business, social and public managers – need not so much fragmented, less consistent and factually intransitional paradigmatically specific reflections, but a synthetic, systematic view on society. The lack of common denominator in sectorial managements, a specific socio-management architecture, leads to management myopia and unilateral approach to complex structured social systems, which require ambiguous, complex and coherent interpretation, diagnostics, assessment, prognostics and targeting.
