Summary

t is now commonplace for employees to feel frustrated at work - ground down by systems that are dominated by rules, protocols, guidelines, targets and inspections. Tony Miller and Gordon Hall explore the origins of command and control management as well as the tyranny of modern day performance management. They argue convincingly that effective leaders and managers should 'let go' of their ideas on controlling staff and instead nurture intrinsic motivation. The book also shows that good managers need to develop management systems which actively support the human spirit, enabling creativity and allowing staff to perform their jobs properly. The ideas in this book could breathe new life into struggling organisations and are a breath of fresh air for thinking about the world of work.
