Why hasn't management improved the way way other fields have improved? Will it ever get better? That's the topic of this book. It's aimed at inquisitive thinkers, people like scientists and engineers, who wonder not just how to get through the day as a manager, but why that day is often so hard. In this book we range from the insights about management from business professor Henry Mintzberg to the skepticism about management from physicist Richard Feynman. A rich cast of characters have tackled the task of making management better. We'll see what we can learn from their attempts. This isn't a book of management tips; there are thousands of such books. This book aims to look clearly at why it's been such a struggle to create a science of management and, having taken that look, seeking to find a path forward. Join me in the investigation since better management could one day lead to a better world.
