Why Management Stays the Same answers these questions and more. It shows that classical management is not simply a set of outdated practices. It is a self-reproducing system rooted in preconceptions thousands of years old and passed on as one climbs the hierarchy. It is filtered through what leaders judge to be beautiful or ugly, protected by the status, rights and privileges it confers, and renewed with each new generation of top leaders.
This volume is a synthesis of a six-book series written by Bob Emiliani and published between 2018 and 2023. It brings their key concepts together into a single practical diagnostic framework with five layers: Roots, Ascent, Judgment, Protection and Persistence. Each layer is traced through history, connected to everyday practice, and translated into what it means for leaders, managers, employees, and the company.
Inside you will find:
- Eleven diagnostic tools for examining preconceptions, metrics, responses to problems, language, and the risk that improvements will be reversed
- Eight strategies for making progress within real-world constraints
- Guidance for senior leaders, board members, managers and improvement professionals, as well as consultants and trainers
- Illustrations from healthcare, government, higher education, software, financial services and manufacturing
- Key points and actions at the end of every chapter
- A 90-day plan for getting started

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
