Poge6 Thursday, March 28, 1985 TEhr (6attte Upcoming managers extremely individualistic in order to get ahead. The new managers arrive at a time when the marketplace is being reshaped by intense competition that many observers trace to imports, a lessening of government regulations in various industries. and a decline of unions. The new management system they are evolving. Mills concludes, "holds the potential for American companies to recapture the ability to compete more successfully in our own and foreign markets." By JOHN CUNNIFF AP Business Analyst CAMBRIDGE, Mass.

(AP The upcoming managers of American corporations are extremely individualistic, interested and involved in many pursuits, and dislike being consid- s. ideas but not for the sale of goods, while conservatives believe in a free market for goods but not for ideas. Young professionals, he said at a seminar for news people, believe in a free market for both ideas and goods. While their beliefs do not fall into the counterculture category, he says, they do not sacrifice other interests for work. And unlike older managers, they are comfortable with minorities and the opposite sex as workplace peers.

They see business as much an avocation as a vocation and. unlike many of their predecessors in middle and upper corporate ranks, do not view it as a burden to be endured Mirror part of a group, to a Harvard Mills' findings are scheduled for May publication in a volume to be called "The New Competitors," in which he contends that "what distinguishes top performing organizations is their ability to make a well-functioning unit of a group of people, while still identifying and recognizing individual merit." Whereas older leadership tends to be conservative. Mills says today's young professional manager is neither liberal nor conservative. Liberals, he points out, believe in free markets for the expression of PUC budget HARR1SBURG (AP) The state Senate has unanimously approved a $24.3 million appropriation for the Public Utility Commission for the year beginning July l.

a Wed 1(6: sat. 10-5 professor. "They are profoundly changing American companies," says Professor D. Quinn Mills, labor relations scholar at Harvard Business School and a member of the National Commission on Employment Policy. Mills' findings were gathered from observations of students, upcoming executives and senior corporate officers who train or instruct at the busineess school, along with information from case studies and interviews.

He attributes the change, among other things, to greater competition, technology, and social and political influences that make management a more subtle, sensitive and humane matter than heretofore. Mills contrasts today's less rigid young corporate leader with his more authoritarian predecessors, whose managerial attitudes and skills and even personal behavior were shaped by military demands of World War IL The big war forced heavy emphasis on strong, quick, decisive leadership and a hierarchy of command that shot clear signals to subordinates. But today's managers, says Quinn, seldom "have the military model as an ideal. Mills believes management in the past failed to treat people with as much respect as they deserved, often failing to accept legitimate questions or suggestions from them. "The employee felt demeaned, like a kid," he said.

The new managers, he comments, believe in treating people as unique, and worthy of being given individualized attention and personalized reward based on merit. 2 Days Only ROBERT SIBBLE Sibble retires from Penelec after 36 years Robert F.
