During the author's decades of experience consulting in the
corporate world and teaching management theory at the university
level, he has often questioned many modern-day management
practices. For example, why do so many companies have evaluation
and reward systems that force employees to compete against each
other while these same organizations preach the gospel of
cooperation and teamwork? Why do companies continue to downsize
when this practice has proven antithetical to long-term success?
Out of the Box Thinking for Successful Managers explains, in a
user-friendly and sometimes humorous manner, why these practices
are based on worn-out logic in some cases and complete falsehoods
in others. Questioning numerous management practices that have been
popular for decades, it details their weaknesses and explains why
they continue to hamper attempts to improve productivity. The book
reviews a range of management theories, including Six Sigma,
downsizing, and management by objective. After showing where the
holes lie, it offers alternative approaches that have proven
effective in a growing number of private and public sector
organizations, including some that enable a more positive workplace
culture. Illustrating practical application with case studies, the
book provides simple suggestions for change that can be highly
beneficial to your organization. It addresses the major myths that
managers need to examine and eventually do away with or, at least,
replace with modified versions that make more sense in today's
increasingly competitive business environment.
