"Gary Latham emphasizes the scientific aspect of effective
management---evidence-based management, in an artful way. Practical
examples and colorful illustrations demonstrate why and how proven,
tested, techniques work in ten critical areas of
management."--Wayne F. Cascio, Ph.D. Distinguished Professor and
Robert H. Reynolds Chair in Global Leadership, University of
Colorado Denver
"Management must become more evidence-based. Latham has written a
must-read book that explains what this means and provides many
examples of what managers can do in order to make it happen. It
identifies a wealth of practices that have been shown to be
effective."--Edward E. Lawler III, Director of the Center for
Effective Organizations in the Marshall School of Business,
University of Southern California
"There are too many fads and folderols in management, many wrong,
some even harmful. This book is a must read for managers or
students aspiring to be effective managers capable of building an
effective organization. Gary Latham has brilliantly summarized the
implication of thousands of rigorous academic studies into ten
foundational lessons you can rely on to be right."--Michael Beer,
Professor Emeritus, Harvard Business School
