Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 172 pages. Facile formulas, catchy slogans, ten-step programs, and quick fixes too often do minate today's management training programs. But in organizations as in all of l ife, human behavior is seldom predictable, and business dilemmas do not easily l end themselves to gimmicks or simplistic answers. In Management of the Absurd, p sychologist, educator, and former CEO Richard Farson presents a series of manage ment paradoxes designed to challenge conventional wisdom and encourage managers to reexamine their assumptions about effective leadership. Here, at last, is a d ramatically new understanding of organizations and human relations. In his explo rations of more than 30 paradoxical situations, Farson demonstrates the value of a radically different perspective on leadership and offers managers powerful ne w ways to cope with the many perplexing problems of organizational life. Manager s at every level will recognize the very real dilemmas and complexities that Far son describes, and will be challenged by these provocative new views of the art of managing people. Here are some of Farson's startling insights: The better thi ngs are, the worse they feel. Once you find a management technique that works, g ive it up. Big changes are easier to make than small ones. The more we communica te, the less we communicate. Nothing is as invisible as the obvious. Effective m anagers are not in control. Organizations that need help most will benefit least from that help. Many readers will share Michael Crichton's response to this boo k, as he observes in the foreword, He irritated me. He provoked me. He made me n od, he made me smile, and he made me shake my head. He] reports morethan expe rience; he gives us wisdom. Guided by Management of the Absurd, managers of the.…
