THE TRUTH ABOUT MANAGING PEOPLE AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH

Packed with an impressive amount of data, this audio is a compilation of what organizational researchers know about managing people. The view is decidedly academic, so the program is organized around the language of organizational psychology and M.B.A. programs. It's also weighty and cumbersome for an audio of this length. A manager in the trenches--the non-academic listener--will not connect easily with this material. But it reveals invaluable and often unexpected findings that will rock conventional wisdom and bring management idealists down to earth, where the real data is. The program's overzealous breadth makes it like an encyclopedia, but every manager ought to keep it nearby. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 03]
