Abstract
"The author argues that power in organizations has negative and counterproductive effects. In the current environment, management systems should be exempt from power, and management needs to be based on self-guidance and on the maximization of each individual's creative and other resources. Managers accordingly need to pay more attention to the development of efficiency, empathy, and imagination. Questionnaires are included to help readers assess themselves on their management approach."--BOOK JACKET.
