Based on extensive research showing how costly bad management really is, this eye-opening book offers concrete prescriptions for combating alarming trends such as high turnover, low productivity, and lackluster performance, including techniques for: strengthening the bonds of trust and respect between managers and employees; customizing working conditions and rewards for individual employees; and hiring for the 'best fit' between the organization's core culture and the personal qualities and priorities of the individual.Using hard numbers and current studies that prove the direct connection between a company's financial performance and its employees' commitment, this book is a wake-up call to organizations desperately needing to restore the broken spirits at the heart of their companies, and enhance their bottom lines
