Recommendation

The biggest management secret is that managers know who is not producing and they know what isn’t working, and they don’t do anything about it. And why not? John H. Zenger argues that shameless managers know productivity is lagging. Every day, says he, managers deliberately overlook people and conditions that limit productivity. While he scolds such oversight, he also offers a cure. Managers must wake up and attend to reversing unproductive trends in their work places. By eliminating bureaucracy, streamlining processes, and giving employees the skills to do excellent work, managers can incite a productivity revolution. This sure-handed, action-oriented guide provides direct suggestions and ready-to-use tools. True to its word - that bigger is not better - this short book will help managers transform their work environments into places where things get done and quickly. If you want to work in, or manage, a place like that, getAbstract recommends this book to you.

Then, you could invest more in your products and services, making them even better (and of course making even more of them). Then, your employees and you would make even more money and receive even more benefits. Get it?

You already know that some of your employees are much less productive than others and are taking home the same paychecks. Why do you allow this? People who don’t pull their share are dead weight. If you can’t teach them to perform at least...
