Description: An authoritative book that reflects the thinking and writing of one of the top five business thinkers of all time<P>Douglas McGregor is one of the forefathers of contemporary management thinking. Over fifty years ago, he began investigating the importance of people to business, and he believed something that CEOs today have come to understand: in order to thrive, an organization needs to harness the intelligence, enthusiasm, and commitment of all their employees. McGregor proved that to truly succeed, companies must cultivate an organization that is built on enduring relationships with the workforce and customers. Douglas McGregor on Management discusses current leadership issues through the lens of McGregor's ideas. The book offers ten principles for putting his beliefs into practice from which managers at all levels can learn. These principles are augmented with stories and examples from companies who have come to personify McGregor's thinking, including British Petroleum, Egghead.com, CompUSA, Sun, Lucent, and Hanover insurance.
