Pfeffer does a really nice job laying out the evidence for building people first organizational cultures and reaping the benefits. The evidence is clear that if organizational leaders adopt seven related practices vis-a-vis their employees, they will see better financial performance. Yet for many reasons that Pfeffer elaborates, leaders and organizations don't, and sometimes even do the opposite. Be different. Transform your workplace.

| Book description |
|
Jeffrey Pfeffer argues that much of this downsizing is nothing more than a throwback to 100-year-old employment practices. Instead of cutting costs as a means to increase profits, companies should focus more on building revenue by relying on solid people-management skills. Through dozens of examples, Pfeffer demonstrates that successful companies worry more about people and the competence in their organizations than they do about having the right strategy. Pfeffer contends that the strategy part is relatively easy--it's the day-to-day execution that's hard. Companies that understand the relationship between people and profits are the ones that usually win in the long run.
