Every day companies and their leaders fail to capitalise on opportunities because
they misunderstand the real sources of business success.
Based on his popular column in Business 2.0, Jeffrey Pfeffer delivers wise and
timely business commentary that challenges conventional wisdom while providing data and
insights to help companies make smarter decisions. The book contains a series of short
chapters filled with examples, data, and insights that challenge questionable assumptions
and much conventional management wisdom. Each chapter also provides guidelines about how
to think more deeply and intelligently about critical management issues. Covering topics
ranging from managing people to leadership to measurement and strategy, it?s good
organisational advice, delivered by Dr. Pfeffer himself.
Jeffrey Pfeffer is Professor of Organizational Behavior at the Graduate School of
Business, Stanford University. He is the author or co-author of 11 books, and a monthly
column in Business 2.0.
