Good people, bad managers : how work culture corrupts good intentions / [electronic resource] Samuel A. Culbert. - New York, NY : Oxford University Press, 2017 - 1 online resource.
Foreword / Henry Dubroff -- Time to face it : bad management is the norm -- Doublethink : how managers convince themselves bad behavior is good managing -- What people skills do managers (actually) acquire? -- Why managers feel so very vulnerable -- How managers self-protect -- What prevents good management -- Overcoming cultural resistance to good management -- Getting company supports for good management -- Consciousness-raising to promote other-directedness in management.
In Good People, Bad Managers: How Work Culture Corrupts Good Intentions, author Samuel A. Culbert makes readers aware of what bad habits are routinely followed by well-intended managers. Managers need to understand the causes for their constant distraction, become more aware of the negatives they inadvertently inflict, and the hollowness of the rationales they use to justify what they do. Company leaders, CEOs, and top tier managers need to become more aware of the ever-present concerns of their own workforce, implementing the management mentality they want in their company and then teaching their managerial employees how to absorb it.
