Not just another "How to manage book"
Unlike many books on management and supervision that are mostly theoretical with very little practical application, 30 Reasons Employees Hate Their Managers takes a different approach. Based on surveys of more than 50,000 employees, the author has defined 30 big problems that managers and supervisors have - even though they may not know it.
Each reason is addressed from four perspectives:
-An illustrative story
-The problem for employers
-The psychological reasons for the reality
-Solutions
This approach leads to a very practical and usable book. You can search the index for the problem your having and, within 5-10 minutes, you'll have a better understanding of the problem and three or more potential solutions. This should be a reference book on every manager's desk. I know it will stay on mine.
"the rest of the story"
this book should be a companion reader to the "OZ principal" in order to "see it" you need to know what your looking for. this book gives good insight to what your workers are thinking and feeling.
A focus on each issue and how to resolve it
Over 50,000 employees tell why company morale and productivity are low and loyalty nonexistent in 30 Reasons Employees Hate Their Managers: What Your People May Be Thinking and What You Can Do About It. In synthesizing the surveys of over 50,000, this book helps pinpoint common problem areas, solutions which apply to the real world and work, and insights on the psychology of these solutions. A focus on each issue and how to resolve it lends practical analysis to the matter, making this a top pick recommended for both managers and business libraries seeking to quickly identify problems and enact changes based not upon time-consuming trial-and-error, but tested real-world experience.
