I agree with Ed when he says of The Neuroscience of Leadership “it’s an outstanding piece of work, well worth your time” but that the authors’ critique of humanism is both lame and unnecessary.

Perhaps it would have been better for the authors to say, “humanism isn’t always enough” rather than to imply that a humanistic approach has no place in modern management. I think they make a good case that a humanistic approach is often difficult to take and may produce uncertain results; I would hope, though, that readers don’t conclude that an “anti-humanistic” approach is justified or desirable. Indeed, the authors recommended methods for achieving buy-in (presenting information and letting subordinates reach their own conclusions) are somewhat humanistic in nature.
