THE TALENTED MANAGER 67 Gems of Business Wisdom
Adrian Furnham
“Adrian Furnham is one of the most prolific academics in the world, but his most exceptional talent is his ability to do research that appeals not just to academics but also to business and laypeople alike. In this collection of essays, Furnham covers an impressive list of hot management topics in an authoritative yet engaging way. Indeed, the author injects humor and science into a world so often dominated by clichés and pop psychology. There is probably no other management scientist so well equipped with facts, research evidence, and many years of business experience at the top of the game. Generations of consultants and managers will appreciate this masterpiece.” – Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, New York University, USA “Furnham can be relied upon to come out fighting. Fists fly as misconceptions are laid to rest whilst new ideas are fertilized with insight and realism. A book about talent by a talent.” – Professor Christopher Jackson, University of New South Wales, Australia “Adrian’s book is refreshing in a number of ways. It is easy reading, lighthearted, and enjoyable. Yet more than that, he starts to question some of the fundamental truths that we persist with yet know don’t work. He raises good, valid objections from both a philosophical and practical perspective which if considered could lead to better outcomes, less wasted time on fools’ errands and financial savings.” – Mike Haffendon, CEO, Strategic Dimensions, UK “Talent: what it is, how to find it, how to develop it, how to lead it, how to manage it, how to retain it. These are all questions that resound with anyone involved in Human Resources, Learning and Development or managing organizations. These questions, in his inimitable, accessible and witty style, have all been addressed by Professor Adrian Furnham in his new book The Talented Manager. All the hallmarks of another Furnham classic are here… Bite-sized morsels of pithy, relevant, funny, illuminating and engaging content, wrapped up in a package that will suit academics and business people alike.” Dr Mark Batey, Manchester Business School, UK
