The Management Mythbuster - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Are you brave enough?

"We′ve finally lost it! All sense of perspective has disappeared from the practice of management, buried under the overwhelming weight of methodologies, theories, best practices, models, tools, systems, processes, benchmarks, scorecards, competencies, mission statements, and value propositions. Common sense has been subjugated by nonsense!" David Axson, from The Management Mythbuster

As the world was rocked by the near collapse of the global financial system in 2008, the time had arrived to take a closer look at many of the practices and processes that govern much of modern management behavior, practices that promised to revolutionize corporate operations and turbocharge the bottom line, yet had been found wanting.

Enter The Management Mythbuster, a humorous review of current management practice. Author and management thought leader David Axson:

• Reveals and refutes the fallacies of conventional management wisdom

• Exposes the myths of standard management thinking

• Untangles the maze of management myths with short chapters on popular, management practices, theories, tools, and behaviors

• Proposes a "new normal" in doing business, set to the world we actually live in, with unpredictability, turbulence, and volatility as part of the daily scenery

This book is for you if you are among those who have found the traditional rules and processes in planning, forecasting, budgeting, reporting, accounting, and risk management to have become obsolete, and if you long for a more relevant way to navigate today′s business world.

Become part of the new generation of informed, skeptical, risk–aware, decisive and yes, brave managers, with the commonsense perspective found in The Management Mythbuster.
