Synopsis

This book examines how business productivity can be greatly increased by unlocking human potential. The author suggests that while people generally accept there are more efficient ways of achieving results, they are unaware of the extent to which human efficiency can be improved. He deconstructs the idea that human effort and results are fixed quantities, and claims that human potential for increased output is far greater than most realize. The author supports this claim through a series of case studies and examples, and highlights the impact of mental and psychological factors on worker output. The book concludes by suggesting that human efficiency is a variable quantity which increases and decreases according to psychological law, and that by applying known physical laws the telephone and the telegraph have supplanted the messenger boy.
