The Art of Managing Humans: Management Practices That Actually Work

Stop managing your employees—start managing your people. Every organization depends on its people. Their knowledge, motivation and commitment can help a business grow, innovate and succeed. Without them, even the strongest strategy, technology or financial plan can fail. In The Art of Managing Humans, Tsvika Abramovitch—an award-winning CHRO with over three decades of experience—shares a practical framework for creating stronger, healthier and more productive workplaces. His approach, known as the Seesaw Model, is built on a simple but powerful insight: the relationship between management and employees is never still. Like a seesaw, it requires balance, attention and constant adjustment. This book shows managers how to move beyond conventional work relations and build genuine working relationships. Through open communication, employee involvement, development, welfare and transparency, Abramovitch explains how leaders can understand what is really happening inside their organizations, strengthen their people and create the crucial balance between business goals and human needs. Practical, clear and rooted in real-world experience, The Art of Managing Humans is for managers, executives and HR professionals who want management practices that actually work.
