More About This Textbook
Overview
Groups, teams, and other new ways of working together have become commonplace in today's organizations. In spite of all of these changes, one element remains the same: the basic building block of all work activities is the individual employee. Points of Influence helps coach managers, team leaders, and trainers to gain a better understanding of employee motivation and how they can influence behavior, increase their own personal self-awareness, and expand their managerial skills.
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
"Those of us who work on organization change have a wealth of resources to understand the group and system levels of the organization. With Points of Influence, Morley Segal gives us the critical third piece—a comprehensive review of personality theory against the backdrop of organization practice. Finally, there is a practical guide to the individual level of our work. It is an invaluable addition to our understanding of organization change." —June Delano, director, organization change & development, Eastman Kodak CompanyProduct Details
