THE TIME• has come for the Government to get off the backs of managers and let them get on with the task of managing.
And a step in the right direction, according to Roy Close, director general of the British Institute of Management, would be a halt to the "flood of legislation and regulation" imposed on managers. Addressing the Executives' Association of Great Britain in London last week, Mr Close said: "The official attitude to managers seems to be to load them up with legislation and administrative work, grumble at them, underpay them, and expect them to carry through economic policies they have had no hand in developing."
In a reference to the forthcoming BIM convention to be held at Wembley on Marc 7, Mr Close declared the would be some "angry d mands" for a moratorium ( new legislation, whi managers tried to assimila what had already hit them.
Such a demand could on be seen "as a real warnir light — an indication th managers are fed up, and thi want the Government off thE backs for a while."
