Running a company, department or team has been more difficult than it needs to be because we have lacked an understanding of human behavior that actually fits the way human beings work. \u003cp\u003eIn this book you learn that we are controllers, that it is our nature to control, and that when we attempt to control others we easily create conflict. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerceptual Control Theory (PCT) shows what control is and how it works; how it gives rise to conflict or cooperation, depending on what individuals want and how they see things. Control is not a dirty word. Control is necessary for life and being \"in control\" or contented is satisfying. When others attempt to control us we resist and dislike it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are all psychologists; we all deal with other people. Our understanding and skill determines our effectiveness and satisfaction as leaders, managers, salesmen, teachers and friends, both in the workplace and in our personal lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith PCT, leaders and staff can learn the same testable understanding and effective approach. You deal with your associates at all levels just like they deal with customers and suppliers. When you understand PCT, dealing with people no longer will be complex and confusing, a matter of luck, a gift, or something best left to specialists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dag Forssell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Living Control Systems Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.25w x 0.23d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780974015552\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Living Control Systems Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40938980081779,"sku":"9.78097E+12","price":16.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_b710bc67-c508-4785-957d-2dc9a5ceb98e.jpg?v=1693404557","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/management-and-leadership-insight-for-effective-practice-9780974015552","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
