Human Excellence in Organizations

The unprecedented change in diverse spheres of activity that the world is witnessing poses a serious challenge that calls for the mobilization of available resources for all round betterment of the society at large. This dilemma confronts socio-economic, political and educational fields. Merely doing away with the traditional ways of doing things is not enough – new programmes that meet the aspirations of the people need to be developed and implemented. Of the three resource factors – human, physical and financial – which are indicators of economic growth and development, the human resource factor is more potent and strategic. The need for human resource development, therefore, assumes great importance. This book is about the development of excellence in the crucial human resource factor in all its aspects – be it career guidance, personnel management, planning for competitive advantage or development of leadership in the team-based work scenario. In short, the book is about the activities involved in bringing about human excellence in organizations.
