Maslow on Management
A seminal work onhuman behavior in the workplace-now completely updated
"At last! We have all been quoting Maslow for years and to now have such an excellent compilation of his seminal thoughts on management and organization comes like a timely gift from heaven. The values and principles he taught decades ago are even more relevant today."
—Stephen Covey, author, The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People
"Maslow's book is a readable, impressionistic masterpiece that extolled the virtues of collaborative, synergistic management decades ahead of its time. This edition reveals just how much the management thinkers of our day, including Peter Drucker, W. Edwards Deming, and Peter Senge, owe to Maslow, and how much, at the dawn of the twenty-first century, management can still learn from his insights."
—Andrea Gabor, author, The Man Who Discovered Quality
"Maslow's brilliant and humane perspectives are made easily accessible in this exceptional book. It's also quite humbling-why haven't we yet actualized the truths about human nature and the nature of work?"
—Margaret J. Wheatley, author, Leadership and the New Science and A Simpler Way
"Maslow's profound concept of self-actualization could generate a Copernican Revolution of work and society, catapulting us out of what future generations will look back on as the dark ages of management."
—Jim Collins, coauthor, Built to Last
