Every day companies and their leaders fail to capitalize on
opportunities because they misunderstand the real sources of business
success.
Based on his popular column in Business 2.0, Jeffrey Pfeffer delivers
wise and timely business commentary that challenges conventional wisdom
while providing data and insights to help companies make smarter
decisions. The book contains a series of short chapters filled with
examples, data, and insights that challenge questionable assumptions and
much conventional management wisdom. Each chapter also provides
guidelines about how to think more deeply and intelligently about
critical management issues. Covering topics ranging from managing people
to leadership to measurement and strategy, it's good organizational
advice, delivered by Dr. Pfeffer himself.
