Drawing on research with about 1,000 management and executive students, the authors identify five spending traps--made with money, time, energy, or other resources--that lead to wasteful
actions by managers in organizations who are dealing with people problems: recycling old solutions for current problems, investing additional resources into failing projects, avoiding conflict
to feel like a team player, communicating too frequently over too many channels, and assuming employees don’t need direction. They also describe how to overcome them. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold,
