A Little Book of f-LAWS:
13 Common Sins of Management 
Russell L. Ackoff, Herbert J. Addison and Sally Bibb 
​

Taken from Management f-LAWS, the 13 f-LAWS featured in this little red book are an introduction to Ackoff's thinking about management. 

The little book is a taster - you can get a copy for just £5 or read the online edition free here.

Russell Ackoff, who died in 2009, was one of the world's leading business thinkers and one of the founding fathers of Systems Thinking. His Management f-Laws (a term coined by Ackoff) expose the conventions and laws of management, the hierarchies and power struggles, the ineptitudes and time-wasting, the prejudices and careless thinking as flaws of management: all of which hinder successful strategies for organizational change and development.
