Publisher's Synopsis
The best organizations have the best talent. . . Financial incentives drive company performance. . . Firms must change or die. Popular axioms like these drive business decisions every day. Yet too much common management "wisdom" isnt wise at all-but instead flawed knowledge based on "best practices" that are actually poor incomplete or outright obsolete. Worse legions of managers use this dubious knowledge to make decisions that are hazardous to organizational health.
