The Mastery of Management looks at the realm of interaction between manager and employee in much the same way that Sherlock Holmes would scrutinize a crime scene. After revealing the formula for identifying the Personality Types of peers and associates, it shows executives how to lead others into productive behavior through knowledge of personality and awareness of psychological needs.
Kahler has written the most fun management theory/practice book I’ve read. He bases it on six loosely defined personality types. There isn’t a lot of detail, but enough to point a manager in the right direction. I certainly saw myself in one of the types and the motivational methods would work with me. I saw two of my staff in the book and others not so clearly. This is a book that can serve as an introductory management tool and I will be using its principles in my management.
A very interesting book about speaking to people in the language of their own personality from the man who tutored Clinton in how to feel other people's pain.
