Making Common Sense Common Practice

By V.R. Buzzotta, Ph.D., Robert E. Lefton, Ph.D., Alan Cheney, Ph.D., and Ann Beatty, Ph.D.

Four leading organizational psychologists who have worked with CEOs from hundreds of prominent international corporations combine their years of experience to bring some common sense back to the boardroom.

This authoritative book takes a hard look at the human side of high performance. It explains how today’s leaders can turn the tension that occurs naturally in the workplace into an energizing, creative force. Common sense techniques based on behavioral science help readers learn how to regulate tension to produce a positive, motivating power that enables the organization and its people to achieve high performance.

The authors also discuss actions that will raise and lower tension, keeping it constructive and energizing. These actions are woven into a step-by-step process that organizations can apply to achieve high performance:

• Knowing where the organization is going
• Ensuring its people have what it takes to get there
• Developing and enabling workers
• Helping people stay on track
• Building a trusting work environment.

Making Common Sense Common Practice also includes:

• Common Sense Capsules — A summary that allows busy executives to gain a quick understanding of the key common sense ideas.
• Common Sense Gap Analysis — An opportunity for readers to assess their own organization in relation to the primary principles advocated by the authors.
