A seminal work onhuman behavior in the workplace-now completely updated "At last! We have all been quoting Maslow for years and to now have such an excellent compilation of his seminal thoughts on management and organization comes like a timely gift from heaven. The values and principles he taught decades ago are even more relevant today." — Stephen Covey, author, The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People "Maslow's book is a readable, impressionistic masterpiece that extolled the virtues of collaborative, synergistic management decades ahead of its time. This edition reveals just how much the management thinkers of our day, including Peter Drucker, W. Edwards Deming, and Peter Senge, owe to Maslow, and how much, at the dawn of the twenty-first century, management can still learn from his insights." — Andrea Gabor, author, The Man Who Discovered Quality "Maslow's brilliant and humane perspectives are made easily accessible in this exceptional book. It's also quite humbling-why haven't we yet actualized the truths about human nature and the nature of work?" — Margaret J. Wheatley, author, Leadership and the New Science and A Simpler Way "Maslow's profound concept of self-actualization could generate a Copernican Revolution of work and society, catapulting us out of what future generations will look back on as the dark ages of management." — Jim Collins, coauthor, Built to Last

One of the founders of humanistic psychology, Abraham Maslow, developed theories on human behaviour and motivation that have had a major impact on the public consciousness. His theories shaped not only psychology but many other fields, including counselling, education and management. At the time of his death 25 years ago, Maslow left a vast collection of articles, essays and letters intended for publication: now the noted Maslow biographer, Edward Hoffman, has compiled the most compelling of these writings into one volume. In these articles, Maslow shares his thoughts on a wide range of topics, from self-actualization and well-being to American politics and organizational management. Hoffman provides a biographical introduc

This volume is a product of an informal, personal journal kept by Professor Maslow during his tenure of observation at a California electronics plant, a visit made at the invitation of the firm’s president. “I came there for no specific task or purpose, but I became very much interested in what was going on there for various reasons,” states Professor Maslow. It was the first time he had been confronted with an enlightened, modern management in a business firm. He began to take notes on the operation of the firm. As a theoretical-clinical-personality psychologist, he made suggestions concerning business and organization theory. This volume is composed of knowledge gained from the firm and from the general literature of an enlightened business management, and knowledge acquired through adopted suggestions by the author concerning business organization and theory.
