Title: Stewardship - Choosing Service over Self-Interest
Description: San Francisco, Berrett-Koehler. 1995, First Edition. (ISBN: 1881052281). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy in red cloth boards with VG dustjacket which is not price clipped. xxiv + 264 pages. First edition, seventh printing. The author demonstrates how applying the concept of stewardship will radically change all areas of organizational governance and management. In place of the 'managerial class system', he says, we need to reintegrate the managing of work with the doing of work. No one should make a living anymore watching, measuring, or defining what is best for others - everybody manages and everybody does real work. He spells out extensive reforms needed in many areas: day to day management practices, role of staff groups (accounting, legal, personnel, MIS, and so on), budgetary and financial practices, human resource practices, and pay and performance appraisal systems. 15. Fine/Very Good.
