A Seminal Text in Management
By Jerry Pounds - May 20, 2005Judy Komaki has done something that has never been done before, she systematically observed leaders (managers and supervisors)at work. Komaki's controlled study reflects the rigor of her academic speciality - Applied Behavior Analysis.
She and her colleagues recorded the precise verbal responses of leaders and correlated those findings with the performance of their workgroups. She found that the most successful managers spent time talking with their subordinates about their performance and the work itself.
She catalogued their responses into positive, negative and neutral content and systematically counted the frequency of each. Her study tells you exactly how effective managers spend their time. It is the only controlled study of leadership. Most leadership books are theoritical and based on the experience of the author; they are speculative.

Surprisingly practical academic book
By A Customer - December 10, 2001An academic book that -- surprisingly (because it's academic) -- reveals an effective way to lead and get results, a way missed by many 'practical' books on the subject of leadership.Komaki discusses a real-world key to make you a better manager -- well, probably. The book doesn't go about claiming things it can't back up with research. All it says is: effective leaders
do these. It doesn't follow that up with, 'therefore if you also do these you will be effective as well.' (You could get killed instead, who knows?).Much of the book, practically its entirety, is about the research behind the findings, which are revealing and very interesting reading. As for the findings itself, they are summarised in just a couple of pages. It's not a huge list of things to do that you will never remember and couldn't do anyway (i.e.,You won't find it recommending stuff like: 'be dramatic!', or 'Top 10 steps to become an effective leader').I won't reveal the findings; it's something... read more
