Description

Despite our national preoccupation with achievement, little attention seems to be paid to the pursuit of excellence on an individual basis.

For while it's easy to talk about the collective excellence of an organization, Seth Allcorn argues, no one really wants to be threatened by the superior individual performance of another.

In this work, Allcorn examines the paradox of human nature that places individuals of distinction in the position of being rejected and ostracized by their peers.

He explores the psychological underpinnings of this phenomenon and suggests ways of revising organizational culture to foster individual excellence. 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 behavior.

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 will be a valuable resource for students and professionals in human resource management as well as the management and business fields.
