Fred Luthans and associates studied more than 450 managers
“Do managers who move up most quickly in an organization do the same activities and with the same emphasis as managers who do the job best?”
F. Luthans, “Successful vs. Effective Real Managers,” Academy of Management Executive, May 1988, pp. 127-32; and F. Luthans, R.M. Hodgetts, and S.A. Rosenkrantz, Real Managers (Cambridge, MA: Ballinger, 1988)
