If you’re interested in Evidence-Based Management (EBM), check out this site, by two of my favourite authors, Jeffrey Pfeffer and Bob Sutton.
Here’s a taste of their of their Five Principles of EBM:
- Face the hard facts, and build a culture in which people are encouraged to tell the truth, even if it is unpleasant.
- … you’ll need to check out their site for yourself … 🙂
Also, consider checking out their books, down-to-earth common (or not so common) sense. I’ve bought, read, and learnt lots from:
Pfeffer and Sutton:
- Hard Facts: Dangerous Half-Truths & Total Nonsense
- The Knowing-Doing Gap: How Smart Companies Turn Knowledge Into Action
Pfeffer:
- What Were They Thinking? Unconventional Wisdom About Management
- The Human Equation: Building Profits by Putting People First
Sutton:
- Good Boss, Bad Boss: How to Be the Best… and Learn From the Worst
- The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilised Workplace and Surviving One That Isn’t
