Naked Manager: Games Executives Play

The Naked Manager is a "contrarian" management book by the most influential management expert writing today. Heller set out to take a hard look at management in large corporations-and found that, like the emperor's new clothes, it did not exist. What does exist are "naked" managers forced to deal individually with the complex problems involved in running any large organization. The homogenized and trendy solutions propounded by many management books and business schools often don't work in the real world. The result: multi-million-dollar mistakes that have sent profits and productivity plummeting in many top companies. Utilizing a wealth of real-life examples, the author provides a masterful flesh-and-blood study of modern management decision making.
