This study has explored the impact of ostrich (non-strategic) managers on the development of strategic human resources management in Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. It also provides the extent to which managers of Commercial Banks of Ethiopia are found an ostrich manager and discusses options for moving from ostrich manager to strategist. In adding together, the study reminds us that ostrich managers hide from the present and fail to contemplate the future while strategists seek to understand the present and use it as a foundation for confronting and/or inventing the future. Finally, the presence of greater number of ostrich managers has been retarding the development of strategic human resource Management in banks.
