Product Description
Product Description
This new book from Professor of Psychology, Adrian Furnham, is about how the heart can rule the head; logic and emotion, cognition and affect. Are they inextricably linked or separate systems? Most managers are ignorant of, and not even very interested in, human behaviour. Yet good mangers are like good teachers, they understand the human condition and human needs. They understand the complexity of human motivation, and that, frequently, the heart rules the head, and what this can mean for the business organization. There are nearly 100 'thought-pieces' on the world of management and sales in this book. Each essay address an old issue in a new, provocative and amusing way. It is an ideal book to 'dip into' on many occasions.
