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.

Take-Aways

  • Managing people on the basis of personal experiences yields unpredictable results.
  • A scientific approach is preferable to a common sense approach when it comes to managing.
  • The most cost-effective way to manage your business is to use behavioral science in everyday management.
