Management Malpractice: How to Cure Unhealthy Management Practices That Disable Your Organization
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Cynicism and distrust are rampant in today's business environment. Eighty percent of employees want nothing to do with their organizations, or the managers who run them. Great management principles, always the backbone of truly excellent companies, are now often used and manipulated by corporate leaders for their own gain.
If left unchecked, these formerly great principles turn into malpractices that damage morale, thwart productivity, and destroy companies. Management Malpractice provides practical prescriptions for preventing and curing abuses, and shows how leaders and employees can work together to restore value to their organizations.
"Management Malpractice by Craig R. Hickman fulfills its promise to guide senior leaders in setting new courses for their organizations by exposing management malpractices and, of paramount importance, offers a new vehicle for discussion, a new opportunity for change, and a new hope for the future of their organizations. This is an invaluable book."
-Ken Blanchard, coauthor of Customer Mania and The One Minute Manager
"Malpractice at any level tends to stunt, pervert, or polarize the natural growth of an organization. This excellent book helps to expose and identify such corruption as well as teach, in realistic practical ways, how to re-create a peaceful, trustworthy environment. Filled with brilliant insights!"
-Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness
