Summary

With highly negative stereotypes circulating about "X'ers," all managers have a clear & justifiable prerogative for reading Naked Management if they want to successfully navigate through what has been dubbed the "X-Crisis." Learn how to overcome worker apathy & management resentment. Naked Management is the first book to provide honest, practical guidelines for managers who need to deal with motivating the "X-Generation" & creating a positive impact on morale & productivity while putting a halt to turnover. Learn the critical tools both managers & younger employees need to put to use in order to create & maintain a successful workplace environment. Through a wide variety of exercises, management & employees alike have opportunities to explore feelings, evaluate performance & management techniques, define personal identity, & complete checklists on such topics as responsibility & management values. Let actual case examples demonstrate how the NAKED model impacts the work life of managers & X'ers in such organizations as PepsiCo, Ritz-Carlton hotels, NationsBank, Kinko's, Tulane University, Jiffy Lube, & United Airlines.
