"Stephen Robbins does it again! A prolific scholar and writer, he cuts through the research and theory to deliver immediately useful and essential insights for the effective management of people. I have never seen anything quite like The Truth. Excellent for all of us who don't take the time to keep up with leading edge thinking and practice in the field of management."- Eric G. Stephan, ProfessorOrganizational Leadership & StrategyMarriott School of Management, Brigham Young University"The wide gap between management practice and behavioral research has finally been bridged. Steve Robbins' book translates what researchers currently know about managing people into clear and useful prescriptions for effective management. It should be the benchmark for anyone seeking advice on how to manage people."- Thomas G. CummingsProfessor and Chair of the Department of Management and OrganizationMarshall School of Business, University of Southern California"Steve Robbins has truly pulled off what he said he would. Robbins has written a superb book that assembles evidence about some of the most useful information for managing people to achieve higher productivity and morale. Instead of belaboring and embellishing one concept throughout the book, Robbins presents the best evidence from many of the leading management researchers. The book is eminently practical, yet common sense is contradicted where it is proved to be wrong. In synthesizing the most useful information available on 63 key topics, Steve Robbins has made a substantial contribution to practicing managers. Researchers too should dig into this book to find out what is really known about managing people."- Andrew J. DuBrin, Ph.D.Professor of Management and Industrial PsychologistRochester Institute of Technology"What a service! The premiere writer of management textbooks has sifted through the research to extract the real nuggets-the (often-surprising) truths that every manager should know. This book is an antidote for the unsupported opinions handed out in many popular management books. Robbins lays out the rock-solid foundation for managing people-those central truths that are consistently supported by research. Ignore them at your peril!"- Kenneth W. ThomasProfessor of Management, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California;author of Intrinsic Motivation at Work"This is an important book for any manager, no matter the type of organization. Steve Robbins has combined two ingredients seldom found together in the typical business book: First, he speaks in language clearly understandable to managers. Second, he backs up his pithy discussions and conclusions by anchoring them in solid behavioral research findings. Definitely an interesting and highly informative read."- Lyman W. PorterUniversity of California, Irvine"If someone wants to unleash the truth of people management, read this book. Author Robbins addresses the most critical challenges organizations face today in a concise and entertaining way." - Subir ChowdhuryExecutive Vice President, American Supplier InstituteAuthor of the best-selling THE POWER OF SIX SIGMA and The Talent Era: Achieving High Return On Talent"This is a clever book. Stephen Robbins has put together a book I wish I had written. It's a quick reference written for practicing managers, social scientists, and anyone interested in managing people. Robbins' 'best of' approach, as well as the reference materials each section draws on, make this book a 'must have' for practical, reliable, and valid information on the important leadership/management/people topics of the day."- Randall P. White, Ph.D.Principal, The Executive Development Group LLCCo-author, Relax, It's Only Uncertainty
