Vous allez redécouvrir le management
Et si le management était aussi une science ? Voilà une thèse qui fera sourire les « vrais » scientifiques... mais qui, surtout, déroutera les dirigeants aguerris. Face à l'incertitude des décisions quotidiennes, à quoi peuvent-ils se fier, sinon à leur bon sens, à leur expérience et à leur jugement ? Au fil de ses chroniques dans la newsletter Time To Sign Off, Olivier Sibony montre pourtant que ce management superstitieux est source d'innombrables erreurs. Il en développe ici quarante illustrations concrètes et surprenantes, dans des domaines aussi variés que le recrutement, la créativité ou la décision en équipe. Chacun de ces exemples donnera aux managers des clés pour améliorer leurs décisions. Leur réunion dessine une vision moderne du management : une pratique, un art, bien sûr. Mais aussi un domaine où, comme ailleurs, la démarche scientifique s'impose.

C'était un livre intéressant (et bien sourcé, porteur d'une bonne culture scientifique, chose rare dans les livres sur l'entreprise). Néanmoins, contrairement à ce que spécifie le titre, ce n'est pas tant des leçons de management dans le sens du management d'équipe ou de projet, plus des méthodes pour "bien travailler" en tant que cadre. ça complète aussi le livre du même auteur sur les biais cognitifs (qui, pour le coup, m'est bien plus utile au quotidien même dans ma vie personnelle). Toutefois, ça a le mérite de filer quelques tips utiles et je trouve que ça prend une position assez mesurée et intelligente.

Le management n'est pas "le bon sens", et pourrait se baser sur pas mal d'études dispo, si les managers voulaient s'en donner la peine. O. Sibony recadre bcp d'idées reçues, les explique, et donne les références pour creuser.

Des éléments intéressants et bien documentés avec les sources pour approfondir. De l’humilité et de l’humour en sus...
