Summary

Points of Influence provides a primer for understanding and influencing individual human behavior in the workplace. With brief introductions to the key personality theorists who have had the most profound influence on the study of motivation and human behavior, Morley Segal shows how each theory can help managers gain a better understanding of human behavior, take action to influence behavior, increase their own personal self-awareness, and expand their managerial skills.
