About the Authors 277
Are you making the right decisions?
Or are you copying what seems to work
for other companies, acting on ingrained
beliefs rather than hard evidence, and
doing what you ve always done?
The best organizations have the best talent
...
Financial incentives drive company
performance
...
Firms must change or
die. Popular axioms like these drive companies
everyday actions. Yet too many business adages
are built on flimsy information, miracle cure
hype, and flawed thinking about best practices.
When leaders make choices based on dubious
knowledge, they put their organizations at risk.
But it doesn t have to be this way. Jeffrey
Pfeffer
and Robert I. Sutton present a better path:
evidence-based management, an approach that
has taken hold in medicine and is spreading to
education and public policy.The authors show
managers how to find and use better evidence
in business and why this approach generates
superior results.
Through evidence-based management, business
leaders face the hard facts and act on the best
evidence
—
trumping the competition.They also
view common beliefs about effective management
with healthy skepticism. To demonstrate the
dangers lurking in such beliefs, the authors
dismantle six widely held
—
but ultimately
flawed
—
half-truths in core management areas
including leadership, strategy, change, talent,
incentives, and the connections between work
and the rest of life.
Pfeffer
and Sutton describe
how to identify and apply practices that are best
for their companies, rather than blindly embrace
what seems to have worked elsewhere. Guidelines
include:
(Continued from front flap)
Watch for old ideas clothed in new labels.
These labels are often designed to appeal to
executives enchanted by novelty.
Develop a healthy skepticism toward
the next big thing. Most purported
breakthroughs are flawed ideas hawked by
purveyors pretending to offer overburdened
managers a miracle cure.
Adopt an attitude of wisdom. Be confident
enough to act on the best knowledge you have
now, humble enough to doubt what you know,
and wise enough to face the hard facts when
new
—
and better
—
evidence comes along.
This candid book challenges leaders to commit
to evidence-based management as a way of
organizational life. And it shows executives how to turn
this commonsense approach into common practice.
