Features: Every successful management is the success of the manager, and every failure is the failure of the manager. Management is conducted by people, not by force or facts. The manager's vision, dedication, and honesty determine whether management is appropriate or inappropriate. The power of collaboration among free-willed individuals enables them to collaborate freely. They can only achieve personal full development by choosing to work together. Only by each person taking responsibility for their choices can they enter a close bond and propose higher goals than individual or collaborative actions. I believe that the expansion of collaboration and personal development are interdependent. The proper proportion or balance between them is a necessary condition for human happiness. This book is one of the "Essentials of Western Management Masters' Thoughts Series," telling the social system management thought of the master of masters in management—Chester Barnard.
