	Jaques, Elliott
		Elliott Jaques, a psychoanalyst, social scientist and management consultant who coined the phrase "midlife crisis" and urged companies to adopt hierarchies that reflected employees' abilities to handle long-range assignments, died on March 8 in Gloucester, Mass.
		Jaques, whose clients included the United States Army and the Church of England, was a founding fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatry in Britain, a founding member of the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations and the founder of the social sciences department at Brunel University in London.
		Elliott Jaques was born in Canada and educated in psychology at the University of Toronto.

	Elliott Jaques
		Jaques, who graduated from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and earned a Ph.D. in social relations from Harvard University, became well known for identifying and coining the "mid-life crisis" and his breakthrough discovery that a person's capability to perform complex tasks is both a lifelong evolution and predictable.
		Jaques is recognized throughout the world for the discoveries he made in the social sciences, contributing in a significant way to our understanding of human nature and social institutions.
		Jaques' contributions are multi-disciplinary and include fundamental developments in our understanding of the meaning of work and in the evaluation and development of individuals engaged in work, as well a method for objectively measuring the complexity of work roles.

		After completing 35 years of research on the topic of managerial hierarchy, Elliott Jaques has determined that the word hierarchy is not the evil word most people believe it to be.
		Jaques suggests that by determining the responsibility time span between each layer of the organization, as well as the complexity levels of tasks, the organization will better understand its own purpose, and it will better utilize its managerial hierarchy.
		Jaques’ research found that describing the elements of the manager’s role and the basics of their authority is not enough; the organization must also establish the responsibility time span of each layer in the organization.

		Jaques was also, in 1946, a founder member of the Tavistock Institute for Human Relations, where he worked until 1951.
		Jaques also worked for 15 years with the mining company CRA, later merged into Rio Tinto Zinc, expanding the approach he called social analysis, a starting condition of which was "a willingness to go deeply into organisational questions"; his view was that "on the whole, people are not anxious to explore social reality".
		Jaques maintained his controversial status to the end, refusing to abandon the primacy of hierarchical accountability in establishing socially just and productive organisations.

		In this latter connection Elliott Jaques was awarded the Joint Staff Certificate of Appreciation by General Colin Powell on behalf of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the U.S. Armed Forces for "outstanding contributions in the field of military leadership theory and instruction to all of the service departments of the United States."
		Throughout his career, Jaques has continuously combined work with organizations and with individuals against the background of a B.A. Honors Science degree from the University of Toronto, an M.D. from Johns Hopkins Medical School, a Ph.D. in Social Relations from Harvard, and qualification as a psychoanalyst at the British Psychoanalytical Society.
		Jaques served as a Major in the Canadian Army during WWII as liaison to the British Army War Officer Selection Board (WOSB).

	Potential Capability And Organizational Transition: An Application Of Elliott Jaques' Stratified Systems Theory In A ...
		Jaques also asserts that he has found "a series of higher and higher levels of inherent complexity in work [at different managerial layers] which corresponds to the levels of capability in individuals" (Jaques 1996: 12).
		Jaques' and Cason's hypothesis was that individuals will be effective managerial leaders when their complexity of mental processing matches the role complexity of the task required.
		However, Jaques' method of measuring an individual's PC can be helpful in the selection of new employees, in understanding the level of PC required by the employees required for the future of the business and in determining when their current employees will have the PC to handle the complexity of their role.

		Jaques used to say that the proof of quality of human resources systems is their capacity to induce trust.
		Jaques declares that this kind of research war replicated over one hundred times in different types of organizations and countries, and that the regularity of the threshold values remained always constant.

	Floor Management Netwerk - Goeroes - Elliott Jaques
		Elliot Jaques is a British sociologist who has spent over 30 years researching time and how what a person thinks about time effects their job competence.
		The most dramatic finding in Jaques studies was that people who could sustain a time horizon of ten years or more were the "rule makers" for all those in levels 1-4.
		By encouraging their brains to tolerate ambiguity and establish their own criteria and vision for living, that vision was often taken up by all those with shorter time horizons and lower tolerance for chaos and the unknown.

		Jaques claims to have uncovered the predominant form of successful human organizations since the dawn of recorded (or, as he puts it, "post-tribal") history.
		Within two years, Dr. Jaques had refined this insight to the concept of "time span" — the value of every job could be measured by the length of time it took to carry out its longest-running assignment.
		The Jaques language gives them a way to express it: "This guy is in a Stratum IV role today, but he could work in a Stratum V role if he had the experience and training.

		Although that is an over-simplification, SST was shaped on over 40 years of on-the-job research by Elliott Jaques.
		What Jaques claims to have discovered is that natural hierarchies assert themselves wherever human beings organize themselves to fight or work.
		Jaques argues that companies get into trouble when the layers on their organisational charts fail to correspond to the natural universal structure, and when hierarchical divisions are blurred so that managers aren't clearly accountable for the work of their subordinates.

		Jaques is far from alone in his view that today’s management is highly unscientific, being full of concepts that don’t support a testable theory.
		Jaques find hierarchies to be the key to successful organization.
		Managers therefore need to understand the time horizons of their subordinates and have sufficient authority to decide exactly works for you and to be able to choose what kinds of coaching are needed (rather than leaving this to the training department).

		Jaques, in consequence, has been accused of being a feudal neo-fascist by those who see hierarchy as the antithesis of democracy.
		Jaques suggests that the capacity to think, organisationally, both ahead and historically, is THE criterion for determining who should lead an enterprise.
		Jaques explains the form of organisational hierarchy that tapers to a very few at the top as both natural and desirable.

	Social Power and the CEO by Elliott Jaques, New, Used Books, Cheap Prices, ISBN 1567205518
		Jaques argues that the problems inherent in the way management is practiced are attributable to gravely dysfunctional systems of managerial leadership, systems that have evolved over the years and are now, despite their ineffectualities, taken for granted.
		Jaques argues that the problem of achieving effective and sustainable managerial organizations does not lie in poor decision making, interpersonal stress, lack of innovation, greedy self-interest, and other ills and defects, although they certainly play a part.
		Jaques looks at these systems closely, particularly our current systems of compensation, and itemizes his findings, showing how the the same problems are to be found throughout industry, public service, health and services organizations, and less surprisingly perhaps, the military.

		Jaques summarized what he observed as occuring as a pratical application in organizations into a conclusive summary which he labelled “theory”.
		Jaques may have discovered a series of rules about how people naturally structure themselves but putting these into practice is quite difficult.

		Susan Rasky's article on corporate psychologist Elliott Jaques (''His Ideas on Work Take Hold,'' Feb. 17) is a welcome recognition of the importance of this man and his work.
		Rasky left the impression that Jaques's concept of timespan as it relates to the issue of pay is some sort of complex, off-the- wall theory.
		What Dr. Jaques discovered is very simply that people have an intuitive sense of what is considered fair pay for the work they are doing.
