Evidence-Based Management, Power, human-capital strategy

Thomas D. Dee II Professor of Organisational Behaviour at Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he has taught since 1979. Author of over a dozen books, including 'Power' and 'The Human Equation', he argues that companies systematically destroy value by mismanaging people. His work with Robert Sutton on evidence-based management challenged executives to treat received wisdom with the same scepticism applied to clinical medicine.
