For more than 120 years, advocates of progressive management have failed to dislodge outdated classical management despite mountains of evidence. In The Aesthetic Compass, the author reveals the hidden force behind what sustains the status quo and delivers an Occam's razor answer: aesthetic judgments.

Leaders don't reason their way past tradition; they feel their way through it, instinctively labeling new ideas "beautiful," "ugly," or "dull" before thought even kicks in.

Drawing on cognitive science, philosophy, and decades of practitioner experience, The Aesthetic Compass delivers the first work to apply aesthetics — the philosophy of beauty — to expose leadership culture and management decision-making.

The book maps the aesthetic compasses of classical versus progressive management and shows leaders how to redesign the felt experience of work. Provocative, deeply original, and practical. Aesthetics is a powerful analytic for anyone trying to understand leadership.
