Personality and Performance: Foundations for Managerial Psychology

More about the book

Challenging the common belief that understanding colleagues' personalities enhances management effectiveness, the authors propose a fresh perspective. They argue that psychology should empower individuals to gain self-awareness and self-mastery. This approach emphasizes the importance of purpose, choice, and responsibility as foundational elements for a more effective managerial psychology, shifting the focus from merely understanding others to fostering personal growth and accountability.
