It's About Time;An introduction to Elliott Jaques; a Galileo for the Social Sciences 12+

📕 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 organisations and flourishing societies can be built. Jaques was arguably the most controversial social scientist and management thinker of the last fifty years. It turns out that he was ahead of his time. It's About Time makes accessible Jaques' ideas and the foundations he provides for a new social science; one that centres the human factors at the heart of the enterprise. Russell John Connor, entrepreneur and business-manager, describes Jaques' impact on economics, psychology and management science and explains how the application of his ideas creates long-lasting organisations, which promote trust-inducing behaviour. Compelling, thought provoking and very timely. Robert Copping, MD Sightpath
