Focusing on the psychological aspects of people and the workplace, Allcorn divides his study into three sections. The first offers an introduction to the search for excellence and discusses the identification of workplace superstars . Also examined are the organizational trends that inhibit individual achievement, the interaction between the superstars and others, and the psychology of office behaviour. Section two details the different types of superstars found in organizations and their approaches to achieving excellence. Finally, section three explores some possibilities for adapting current organizational structures to allow and encourage greater pursuit of personal excellence. With its basis in the author’s practical experience in middle management, this volume should be a valuable resource for students and professionals in human resource management as well as the management and business fields.
