Yet companies continue to manage this new breed of employee with techniques designed for the Industrial Age. As this critical sector of the workforce continues to increase in size and importance, that&#8217;s a mistake that could cost companies their future. Thomas Davenport argues that knowledge workers are vastly different from other types of workers in their motivations, attitudes, and need for autonomy&#8212;and so they require different management techniques to improve their performance and productivity. Based on extensive research involving over one hundred companies and more than six hundred knowledge workers, Thinking for a Living provides rich insights into how knowledge workers think, how they accomplish tasks, and what motivates them to excel. Davenport identifies four major categories of knowledge workers and presents a unique framework for matching specific types of workers with the management strategies that yield the greatest performance. Written by the field&#8217;s premier thought leader, Thinking for a Living reveals how to maximize the brain power that fuels organizational success. 383944 13 9 2005 Thinking for a Living: How to Get Better Performances And Results from Knowledge Workers total:18|5:2|4:4|3:10|2:1|1:1| 18 59 34 5 394403 1591394236 9781591394235 18 5 Thinking for a Living: How to Get Better Performances And Results from Knowledge Workers 3.28 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174412431m/394403.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/394403.Thinking_for_a_Living_How_to_Get_Better_Performances_And_Results_from_Knowledge_Workers 3 0 false Wed Sep 24 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 26 00:59:36 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 24 21:55:06 -0700 2008 1 more...]]> 394403 1591394236 9781591394235 18 5 Thinking for a Living: How to Get Better Performances And Results from Knowledge Workers 3.28 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174412431m/394403.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/394403.Thinking_for_a_Living_How_to_Get_Better_Performances_And_Results_from_Knowledge_Workers 0 0 false Sun Feb 22 11:16:37 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 22 11:18:02 -0800 2009 394403 1591394236 9781591394235 18 5 Thinking for a Living: How to Get Better Performances And Results from Knowledge Workers 3.28 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174412431m/394403.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/394403.Thinking_for_a_Living_How_to_Get_Better_Performances_And_Results_from_Knowledge_Workers 1 0 false Mon May 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 28 09:24:30 -0700 2008 Fri May 16 12:48:48 -0700 2008
