It's About Time Russell John Connor

This book is about the ideas of a visionary, a Galileo for the social sciences - Elliott Jaques; the legacy of whom provides the scientific basis upon which healthy organizations and sound societies can be built. Jaques was arguably the most controversial social scientist and management thinker of the last 50 years. It turns out that he was ahead of his time. This book makes accessible his ideas and the foundations for a new science that centres the human factors at the heart of the enterprise. Russell Connor, entrepreneur and business-manager, describes the impact of Jaques' ideas on economics, psychology and management science. This book has big implications for a wide range of people including business leaders, those concerned with creating sustainable organizations and anyone interested in weaving trust-inducing behaviour into the very fabric of society. Compelling, thought provoking, and highly relevant. Robert Copping, MD Sightpath
