The Haves and the Have Nots: The Abuse of Power and Privilege in the Workplace ... and How to Control It

In The Haves and Have Nots, leading organizational consultant Dr. Harvey A. Hornstein illuminates the predictable psychological and organizational patterns that lead executives to shower themselves with special privileges, demonstrates exactly how these patterns undermine the organization, and—above all—offers practical solutions.
Hornstein outlines a systematic, honest blueprint for rooting out executive misbehavior and enhancing employee identification with the organization. And, in so doing, he clears the way for addressing virtually every business challenge more effectively, from raising productivity to managing change.
