问题 Bush’s MBA
Twenty-six of 42 presidents, including Bill Clinton, were lawyers. Seven were generals. George W. Bush becomes the first with an MBA.
Those who have had Bush for a boss since the mid-1980s — in the【C1】______ of oil, baseball and Texas state government — describe his management 【C2】______ as straight from the pages of the organizational-behavior textbooks he studied【C3】______ getting his masters of business administration【C4】______ at Harvard University in 1975.
He manages by what is known as " walking around," having【C5】______ that sitting behind a desk and passing out memos does little to【C6】______ anyone. He has a reputation for fueling "creative tension" his【C7】______ , encouraging them to take and defend opposing【C8】______. That sacrifices harmony, but puts ideas to the test and lets Bush【C9】______ above the fray, where he can offer guidance instead of barking【C10】______. Imagine the creative tension that may erupt from the 【C11】______ of Secretary of State-designate Colin Powell and Defense Secretary-【C12】______Donald Rumsfeld.
Above all, former employees say that he is a master at【C13】______ and installing measures of accountability — ways of knowing whether subordinates are【C14】______ the job done without looking over from any【C15】______. That frees Bush for strategic thinking — perhaps two words【C16】______ into MBA students most — which means thinking ahead to seize【C17】______ and to derail threats to the best of plans.
"George was my【C18】______ ," says Tom Schieffer, who served as president of the Texas Rangers under Bush【C19】______ 1991 and 1995. "But he never made me feel that way. He went out of his way to treat me as a【C20】______, not a subordinate. "
That’s one trait that might be of concern, says Michael Useem, director of the Wharton Center for Leadership and Change at the University of Pennsylvania. It’s important for subordinates to feel part of the team, but not just because the boss craves popularity. Just as in the military, it must be understood who is in charge when the final order is given. [br] 【C12】
