Translating the latest in research into practical applications, the authors dissect how leaders can develop managerial skills and unleash the potential of employees. The authors explicitly seek to engage readers and get them to think critically, not just memorize material for regurgitation. This is subsequently a book intended for students who seek insight into individual behavior, group behavior, organizational structure, and organizational processes through the lens of critical thinking, which is reiterated page to page in the authors asking readers to pause, reflect, and engage with the content. Included as well are boxes which ask readers to 'examine the evidence' and see how research applies to real-life. Boxes also are inserted with anecdotes or quotes about OB from 'life' and readers are encouraged to determine how these might impact people and organizations. Critical thinking questions are asked at the end of each box.
