(New)
Psychologist, educator and former CEO Richard Farson
presents of a series of management paradoxes designed
to challenge conventional wisdom and encourage managers to
reexamine their assumptions about effective leadership.
Facile formulas, catchy slogans, ten-step programs, and
quick fixes too often dominate today's management training
programs. But in organizations as in all of life, human
behavior is seldom predictable, and business dilemmas do
not easily lend themselves to gimmicks or simplistic
answers.
