Jeff Pfeffer is a Professor of Organizational Behavior at Stanford's Graduate School of Business and author of several provocative books, including "Dying for a Paycheck," "Leadership B.S.," and the newly-published "7 Rules of Power." In this episode of the New Human Movement, we talk to Jeff about why human-centric management practices remain rare (despite the mounting evidence of their positive impact on worker well being and organizational performance), and what can be done to change this. According to Jeff, two levers are most critical: (1) measuring the toxic effects of current management practices, and (2) holding executives accountable for creating human-centric workplaces.
