Abstract

Reviews the book, Management and the psychologist: A practical guide on psychology for the business executive. Section II, Book 4, Reading Course in Executive Technique by Paul S. Achilles (1948). The sub-title is an exact description of the contents of this little book. The presentation is concise yet it is surprisingly comprehensive. It is authoritative, readable and accomplishes its purpose in admirable fashion. It is just the type of book to place in the hands of the business executive who has never been exposed to formal psychology but who may be curious as to just what our discipline is all about. Only one minor criticism would appear to be justified. Having whetted the appetite of the business executive, Achilles might well have added a short selected annotated bibliography for his guidance in case he might desire to pursue further any phase of the subject.
