Chapter 1 Time to Face It: Bad Management is the Norm Chapter 2 Doublethink: How Managers Convince Themselves Bad Behavior is Good Managing Chapter 3 What People Skills Do Managers (Actually) Acquire? PART II: Is Bad Management Here to Stay? Chapter 4 Why Managers Feel So Very Vulnerable Chapter 5 How Managers Self-Protect Chapter 6 What Prevents Good Management PART III: What Can Be Done? Chapter 7 Overcoming Cultural Resistance to Good Management Chapter 8 Getting Company Supports for Good Management Chapter 9 Consciousness-Raising to Promote Other-Directedness in ManagementReviewsAddresses a relevant, significant problem: management culture is rife with deception. Regardless of one's level within a firm, all managers make subjective decisions, protect their own turf (i.e., pursue departmental goals at the expense of corporate goals), and do not treat all employees fairly as they have biases. This book is strong, in a practical sense, in that real-world examples are explored and approaches for improving the culture are given. Additionally, soft management skills (communication and psychology) are promoted in this text. Undoubtedly, managers who are able to better understand how they make decisions and improve their communication with employees will make better managers. * Personnel Psychology * Author InformationSamuel A.
