A critique of the popular view that if managers can understand their colleagues' personalities, they can manage them more effectively. The authors offer an alternative view - that the purpose of psychology is to enable working people to gain insight into and mastery of themselves. To achieve this requires new foundations for managerial psychology based on purpose, choice and responsibility.
