What's inside?
To change or manage people's behavior, first you must know what motivates and influences their actions. If you're going to try this, aim for results you can measure.
Recommendation
This book packs a lot of content into 208 pages. Aubrey C. Daniels is not afraid to challenge some popular management theories. He even mentions in his preface that "human performance has been trivialized by many books, the popular press and management folklore. The author uses behavioral analysis as an approach to managing people. This systematic, data-focused method is concerned with measurable results, not subjective qualities like "improved teamwork" or "better employee morale." getAbstract recommends this book for managers who are interested in initiating change in a precise controlled fashion.
