| Summary |
"The message of this book is based on the premise that the key to good management is understanding human nature and inter-personal relations. The author argues that even where human nature is addressed at a conceptual level, the link between theory and what actually happens in the workplace is usually weak and often fails to recognise that social ability is probably the defining aspect. It is his intense focus on human nature and the link between a theoretical understanding of it and what actually happens in the workplace that makes this book so valuable. Throughout the book, you see how managers must constantly make balancing acts between conflicting forces that exist at any given time. In this book the basic model is provided, and then elaborated on with examples from the work-place. The model consists of twenty human characteristics placed in three categories - emotion, motivation and cognition. These characteristics are then linked to what managers have to do in the workplace."-- Edited summary from book. |
