Abstract
Management theory contains varying prescriptions for increasing managerial effectiveness in the work environment. This study attempts to develop an effective managerial philosophy, consistent with an optimistic assumption of human nature with a focus on the development of the good, capable, and responsible man. Consideration is given to theories of human nature, individual belief systems, the values of American society, the military organization, and current management theory and practice.
