Challenge your thinking with Under New Management by David Burkus
The new book by David Burkus, Under New Management, takes a whole group of traditional "we've always done it this way" business practices and challenges them. This includes everything from e-mail being a great productivity tool, the annual performance appraisals, to rigid organization charts. Little escapes his view. But David's book is not just about breadth of topics. He provides enough depth on each to back up his assertions that all is not how we think it to be. With examples of what businesses do right, and do wrong, each topic is examined thoroughly and thoughtfully.
Ever secretly want to turn your organization on its head? Break all the invisible rules about how your people should work? Ever think there is better just beyond something, but the typical way of operating just won't let your organization get there? Then this is the book for you.
If you lead an organization, or work in one, Under New Management is worth your time. Challenge your assumptions and think deeper. You may find the key to your organization's success.
