And getting there from here, according to today's best advice, will require creative change. In this pioneering work, Argyris, one of the world's leading organizational thinkers, reviews a wide array of business advice from the best and brightest thinkers and consultants and concludes that as appealing as their ideas may be, most of them are simply not workable. They are too full of abstract claims, logical gaps, and inconsistencies, to be useful. And ironically, even when their recommendations are implemented correctly, the result is often failure. Why do these gaps in logic exist, and how can they be more effectively discovered? Applying a disciplined critique to numerous representative examples of advice about leadership, learning, change, and employee commitment, Argyris shows readers how to be more critical of the advice they are given, how to learn new approaches for appraising employee performance, and how to generate an internal commitment to values and better strategy. \u003cbr\u003e In our ever expanding global market, innovative business advice is at a premium, and giving this advice has become a lucrative industry in and of itself. This book provides the critical lens necessary to evaluate which advice is best for your organization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Argyris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195132866\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195132861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/1999 pg. 665\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHarvard Business Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2000 pg. 177\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHarvard Business Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2000 pg. 192","brand":"Chris Argyris","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44131241984255,"sku":"9780195132861","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3fc175d6-b80c-4cc1-aeb7-72c9fcac44ae.jpg?v=1687473773","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flawed-advice-and-the-management-chris-argyris-9780195132861","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
