somehow to match the things they need to get done with things
their employees want to do. Excellent individual performance has to be
facilitated; by the right organisational setting, and the right management
to ensure that their people are allowed to give their best. This book
explores the dynamics that influence these characteristics, and sets out the
management tools to nurture successful outcomes. This book will help
managers close the gap between what people want and what they want people to
do.
A uniquely illuminating and accessible synthesis of the science of human
behaviour – translated and applied for the modern business. How People Work
bridges the gap between academic theory and management practice, and between
the disciplines of psychology, sociology and business. How People Work is a
field guide to people and performance. Working from the framework of a
nine–point "catechism of excellence" the author examines all the key factors
that make a difference to individual and organisational success.
Readable and practical, yet firmly based in scholarship, this book makes
research–based principles readily accessible to busy managers.
