Humans are weird! They can be emotional, irrational and often
unpredictable, yet as their manager, it is your job to get the best
out of them. In fact they are often the key to your success. Sadly,
humans do not come with an instruction manual which lists their
technical specifications. Human Nature by Greg Clydesdale is based
on the premise that the key to good management is understanding
human nature and interpersonal relations. But what is human nature?
Greg argues that even where human nature is addressed at a
conceptual level; the link between theory and what actually happens
in the workplace is usually weak and often fails to recognize that
social ability is probably the defining aspect. It is his intense
focus on human nature and the link between a theoretical
understanding of it and what actually happens in the workplace that
makes this book so valuable. Throughout the book, you see how
managers must constantly make balancing acts between conflicting
forces that exist at any given time. But the essential message is:
'If you want to make the World a better place, focus on being a
better manager to your staff'. To help with this you will find an
elaboration theory-based approach, in which a basic model is
provided, and then elaborated on with examples from the work-place.
The model consists of twenty human characteristics placed in three
categories - emotion, motivation and cognition. These
characteristics are then linked to what managers have to do in the
workplace.
