Description:
To harness the employees' unutilized potential, they have to be effectively managed and led. It is time to replace the 'command and control' model of leadership with the strategies to build a culture of accountability and commitment. Human Resource Management offers valuable insights born out of research and experience spanning over 50 years and including the highly militant decades of the sixties and seventies. Deriving important lessons from the history of India's industrial progress, V.K. Sharma draws up a plan to achieve top-class quality and develop cutting-edge products and brands. Topics include:
- Employee commitment and engagement
- Performance management— Can work be fun?
- Competence development and assessment
- Executive coaching
- Industrial relations and related case studies
- Absenteeism—a research study
- Unleashing the full potential of India
- Selecting the right people
Target Audience: Useful for HRD managers as well as the CEOs.
