Publisher's Synopsis
""The Uncommon Man: The Individual In The Organization"" by Crawford H. Greenewalt is a book that explores the role of individuals in organizations. The author argues that organizations often overlook the unique talents and abilities of individuals, instead focusing on conformity and standardization. Greenewalt believes that this approach is detrimental to both the individual and the organization, as it limits creativity and innovation.The book is divided into four parts, each of which explores a different aspect of the individual's role in the organization. Part One focuses on the importance of individuality, while Part Two examines the role of leadership in fostering individuality. Part Three explores the challenges that individuals face in organizations, such as conformity and groupthink. Finally, Part Four provides practical advice for individuals who want to develop their unique talents and abilities within an organization.Throughout the book, Greenewalt draws on examples from his own experience as a successful businessman and CEO, as well as from other notable figures in business and politics. He argues that organizations that value individuality and creativity are more likely to succeed in the long run, and that individuals who are able to develop their unique talents and abilities will be more fulfilled and successful in their careers.Overall, ""The Uncommon Man: The Individual In The Organization"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges conventional wisdom about the role of individuals in organizations. It is a must-read for anyone who is interested in leadership, organizational behavior, or personal development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
