班尼士,工业心理学家,出生于纽约,担任过四位美国总统的顾问。名言是:“管理者把事情做对,领导者做对的事情。”六○年代晚期,班尼士接手主持声望日下的水牛城大学校务。他原希望藉着Y理论的管理哲学,来提升这家大学的声望,但后来却发现,没有正式的结构、命令与控制,那是行不通的。 Bennett, an industrial psychologist, was born in New York and served as a consultant to four U.S. presidents. The famous quote is: “Managers do things right, leaders do the right things.” In the late 1960s, Bennett took over presided over the prestigious University of Buffalo. He originally hoped to elevate the university’s reputation through the management philosophy of the Y theory, but later discovered that without formal structure, command and control, that would not work.
