The must-read summary of Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert Sutton's book: `Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths and Total Nonsense: Profiting from Evidence-Based Management`.

This complete summary of the ideas from Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert Sutton's book `Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths and Total Nonsense` shows how managing a business profitably is hard work, with intense pressures, incomplete information and new ideas that come along every day. Under these conditions, it isn't surprising that many managers sometimes fall victim to `miracle` cures for management challenges or simply adopt the `best practices` of other companies. In their book, the authors explain how this often leads to poor-quality decisions being made that end up wasting time and money. According to Pfeffer and Sutton, the best way is to use `evidence-based management`. This summary demonstrates the fundamentals of this approach and how you can apply it to your management techniques to make smart decisions on the pressing issues.

• Expand your management skills

To learn more, read `Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths and Total Nonsense` and find out how to apply the best strategies for your business.
