A new psychological contract for managing agile performance.Agile is the new black. Every business now has to be adaptive, nimble and ready to pivot - managers have to be comfortable with ambiguity and constantly ready for change. And yet... While agility is regarded as essential for competitive advantage, most organizations are still unthinkingly applying people management practices, rooted in Frederick Taylor's scientific management philosophy of the early 20th century, designed to ensure consistency and efficiency on production lines but which actively prevent the sort of creativity and flexibility needed in the modern workplace. 100 years of scientific management has led to the creation of eight performance myths. Myths that impede the agility necessary to compete in the age of the knowledge worker but which are so instinctively embedded in management psyche that they go unchallenged despite the fact that the changing world of work has rendered them dysfunctional and counterproductive. Baker takes on eight dysfunctional people management practices originating from the scientific management and offers practical solutions for changing these practices. Through case studies and examples he demonstrates how the right workplace culture for promoting and applying agile decision-making consists of eight values shared by employer and employee - values that are polar opposite of the values and assumptions of traditional management styles. A new psychological contract that enables the collaborative working relationship necessary for agility to flourish.Personnel managementStrategic planningLeadershipIndustrial organizationTechnological innovationsHuman Resource ManagementBusiness Strategy and LeadershipOrganizationInnovation and Technology ManagementPersonnel management.Strategic planning.Leadership.Industrial organization.Technological innovations.Human Resource Management.Business Strategy and Leadership.Organization.Innovation and Technology Management.658.3Baker Tim(Management consultant),authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1435816BOOK9910164980603321Performance Management for Agile Organizations3593946UNINA01201nam0 22003011i 450 UON0047564120231205105226.73888-85026-55-920170330f1983 |0itac50 baitaIT|||| 1||||Lettere dalla nunziatura di Francia, 1520-1521Giovanni Rucellaia cura di Giovanni FalaschiRomaSalernostampa 1983195 p.23 cm.001UON001027362001 Quaderni di Filologia e critica4NUNZIATURE APOSTOLICHEFrancia1520-1521UONC091258FIITRomaUONL000004327Relazioni internazionali21RUCELLAIGiovanniUONV234582450435FALASCHIGiovanniUONV134398Salerno EditriceUONV259608650ITSOL20250613RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00475641SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI ITA II 2253 SI LO 41742 7 2253 Lettere dalla nunziatura di Francia, 1520-1521150400UNIOR
