Synopsis

Written in the conversational tone and style of managers, "Becoming the Evidence-Based Manager" lays out management advice in a logical linear framework that ties directly to the natural progression of management skills throughout the employee life cycle: from the hiring stage to the retention stage. Six general lessons of management guide readers on what they should and sometimes shouldn't be doing to become an evidence-based manager. And management research results of the past 50 years are explained, synthesized, and translated into practical guidelines for handling the difficult areas of management that many managers deal with daily. Combined, you have an evidence-based handbook to which you can return time and again.
