MANAGEMENT: Optimizing Talent for Organizational Effectiveness (Black-and-White Student Edition) by Thomas J. Norman Ph. D.
**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**
Organizations succeed when they optimize talent. What if the manager’s whole job could be understood as one idea? Management: Optimizing Talent for Organizational Effectiveness reframes the principles of management around the original DART model — Directing & Deploying, Attracting & Assessing, Rewarding & Retaining, and Teaching & Transforming talent. Every core management topic is here — planning and strategy, decision making and ethics, organizational structure and design, human resource management, culture and change, motivation and communication, leadership and teams, control and quality, innovation and entrepreneurship — each grounded in how real organizations attract, reward, develop, and keep the people who do the essential work.
