This is a management book written with the business school undergraduate in mind, using a language and examples that students can relate to. The author has taught business and management for several years, but draws on his experience spanning decades in banking and finance, commerce, risk management and compliance, and governance to explain how academic theory and practice combine in the workplace. The sub-title of this book is “Unleashing the Power of Purpose, Culture and Values”, and the subject matter draws on the schools of positive psychology and organisational behaviour. Some students find this strange, expecting management studies to be about the balance sheet, accounting, marketing and other skills associated with running a business. This is to misunderstand the essential and most challenging part of management, however; that of creating a working environment that encourages the right kind of work ethic, and selecting, managing and motivating the right people to work for the organisation, its purpose and success.
