Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "In the world of work, we now witness the development of the autonomous and reflective individual. It is an individual that has a full set of needs, internal and external to the organisation. Power is diffused and shared. In contrast with outdated management theory, where structures and systems are derived from a pre-defined strategy, the new workplace will seek to balance what matters for the company (its strategy) and what matters for the individuals (their life strategies). The author brings a fresh and readily digestible approach to this world. His overall premise is that people can and do deliver their best when the organizational setting provides an appropriate environment to support effective behaviours. This book will be of value to managers to help them understand and secure the best from their people, to individuals for their own personal development, and to a broad spectrum of business and management students For the first time, we now have a book about the 'resourceful human;' and not just another book on human resources!" Peter Woolliams, PhD, Clifford Thames Professor of International Business, Ashcroft International Business School, Anglia Polytechnic University "An excellent book that is easy to read, clearly and simply bringing together models, examples and practical considerations into discussions about people and organizations and in particular showing the inherent complexity involved in ensuring an organization and its people can function effectively. Every individual in every organization should stop and ask themselves the questions posed in this book"Julie Clapham, HR Director, Consumer Ventures & Enterprises, British Telecom What motivates people to behave a certain way in the workplace?
