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.
In this summary, you will learn
- Why positive reinforcement is one of the most effective tools for leaders;
- Why a systematic and scientific approach works better than mere common sense in managing people; and
- Why you must understand people’s behavior before you can try to change it.
