In his new book The Human Asset Manifesto; What Happens When Organizations Allow People The Freedom To BE, Jonathan Ledwidge makes the bold assertion that organizations are not only socially dysfunctional but they subjugate and destroy the human spirit! Managers often say good things about the importance of people but very seldom mean it, comments Ledwidge. This can be seen from the rightsizing, downsizing, reorganizing and outsourcing that happens with unabashed frequency. These actions represent a failure to comprehend the true value of people and people processes. Worse still, this cycle is constantly repeated even when it obviously doesn't work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Ledwidge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 160037042X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781600370427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Morgan James Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.18w x 0.86d","brand":"Jonathan Ledwidge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47474126192895,"sku":"9781600370427","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4eccf92-bdf4-4cc9-a2b0-0348244c9854.jpg?v=1762315064","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-human-asset-manifesto-jonathan-ledwidge-9781600370427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
