This is a refreshing and easy to read insight into modern management theory. It goes past the callous efficiency of 1980's and 90's economic rationalism and shows how managers from the top performing organisations are bringing humanity back into the workplace. With talent shortages defining the workplace post 2000 this book shows how to attract and retain good staff, and how to foster innovation, profits and better productivity by treating you people well.

This is a remarkable book. Brilliantly researched, the findings are set out so as to be user friendly, whether for student, teacher, manager or HR practitioner. 'Mind Diagrams' assist in making the journey through the various sections both easy and memorable. This book synthesises the plethora of information on modern man management practices into a coherent guide, and uniquely fills a huge void in the literature.
