Abstract EN:

Starting from a "persons management crisis" showed in an enterprise and noling its consequences on the personel, the author envisages sources of behavioral groups in the presence (managers and their staff) in the inherited mental structuring of the slow advent of the rationality since the classic "greek miracle" to our days. The complexity and observable paradoxical attitudes, make attacks and often unconscious defenses, leads him to propose a systemic approach of the persons management and precise the french semantic contours. Choosing a department of Electricité de France as place of enquiry, it will make successively a fifty of intensive interviews to surround the managerial fact and specify after seven complementary interviews the collected orientations. Connecting with our mythological roots, he will examine: - Ulysses, for its management "by the task", - Prometheus and its style praxeological leading that aims all control around of him, - Hermes whose pragmatic style is linked to the communication. Three possible models professing each a type of management. The manager ideal could be constituted their synthesis whose "compagnonnage" is a modern illustration still linked to a lioving tradition. The transposition in the enterprise, constants thus discovered, pass by the volontary of the candidate-manager, the possession of actual "dispositions" and a favorable professional context. If it is easy to establish a theory able to explain the failure in the relationship between managered man and his people, it seems impossible - and perhaps undesirable - establish a theory that would concern the art of the persons management.
