Research In Creative Management Styles
: A 60 page research-oriented paper discussing creative management styles. There are
organizations that have not been able to make the transition from the traditional
autocratic or authoritarian (rather than the authoritative) style of management. Today,
creative management styles come in a variety of names: situational contingency management,
the transformational approach, the cultural contingency approach, and value-based
leadership. All, however, have their roots in TQM. Organizations that could not be
successful in implementing TQM generally are not successful in implementing any of these,
either, because all, including TQM, require a corporate culture that supports creativity
and a commitment to change, and values open communication between workers and departments
to the point that they will defend it if necessary. This paper examines the underlying
problems preventing the formation and nurturing of that corporate culture so necessary for
sustaining any creative management style. Bibliography lists more than 50 sources. M-Creatv.doc
