Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths And Total Nonsense: Profiting From Evidence-Based Management

Brief description of Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths And Total Nonsense: Profiting From Evidence-Based Management

The best organizations have the best talent. . . Financial incentives drive company performance. . . Firms must change or die.

Popular axioms like these drive business decisions every day. Yet too much common management “wisdom” isn’t wise at all—but, instead, flawed knowledge based on “best practices” that are actually poor, incomplete, or outright obsolete. Worse, legions of managers use this dubious knowledge to make decisions that are hazardous to organizational health.

This practical and candid book challenges leaders to commit to evidence-based management as a way of organizational life – and shows how to finally turn this common sense into common practice.
