Why is common sense so uncommon when it comes to managing
people? How is it that so many seemingly intelligent organizations
implement harmful management practices and ideas? In his
provocative new book, "The Human Equation", bestselling author
Jeffrey Pfeffer examines why much of the current conventional
wisdom is wrong and asks us to re-think the way managers link
people with organizational performance. Pfeffer masterfully builds
a powerful business case for managing people effectively - not just
because it makes for good corporate policy, but because it results
in outstanding performance and profits. Challenging current
thinking and practice, Pfeffer: reveals the costs of downsizing and
provides alternatives; identifies troubling trends in compensation,
and suggests better practices; explains why even the smartest
managers sometimes manage people unwisely; demonstrates how
market-based forces can fail to create good people management
practices, creating a need for positive public policy; and provides
practical guidelines for implementing high-performance management
practices. Filled with information and ideas, "The Human Equation"
provides much-needed guidance for managing people more wisely and
more profitably.
