Top Down: Why Hierarchies Are Here to Stay and How to Manage Them More Effectively
HR Magazine, July, 2005
In this exploration of modern hierarchies, organizational behavior expert Harold J. Leavitt explains what has driven the disconnect between current management theory and the realities of working life. More importantly, he looks at how this disconnect affects today's managers, who struggle to operate democratically within results-driven, authoritarian hierarchies. Harold J. Leavitt (192 pp., hardcover, 2005)
