Book details
Overview
History of Management can also be called the Principle of Management,
from an academic viewpoint. History gives Leaders an understanding of the past,
so that they may have a clear picture for the present and future of their new
profound field. When promoted without any knowledge of history often
decisions are not valid or reliable for the cause, which may have an unsuspecting
effect that wasn‟t accounted for. People have gathered the concept that anyone
can be a Leader, but when dealing with people not anyone is prepared to lead.
Many typical forms of motivation used by Supervisors were to belittle employees
(cussing, shouting, threatening, and body contact). Employees feared their
Supervisors, especially when suggestions were given for a better motivation
system went on deaf ears. Most employees realized that if they tried to address
issues in what they considered a diplomatic manner, it often motivated the leader
to vindicate self by entering a malicious quest to have that particular employee
discharged or emancipated, in other words “fired”.

Foreword
It is my pleasure that I introduced Dr. Tonya D. Moore‟s second book on
the Moore Management Model. Dr. Moore took on the challenge of leadership
since she started her doctoral program. Her influence led me into my doctoral
program which is a Doctor of Education with an emphasis in Organizational
Leadership. I also did a continuation on her dissertation as a completion of my
doctoral program. I have critiqued her work as she defined the meaning as well
as utilizing each element to bridge the supervisor-employee gap. She has also
opened her own business (Moore Enterprises) where I am her Vice President.
The focus of the business is Leadership. She has been a guest speaker assisting
small business owners in understanding the correlation between leadership and
passion. She has taught numerous of courses from undergraduate to graduate
level on leadership. She has also held different leadership roles.
The reader will find in this book a more direct approach for leaders by
combining some of the concepts from the previous book with new information
that will focus on leadership. This book will assist anyone that is planning to
enter into a leadership role that may have limited knowledge in this field. A
person can pick up this book as an easy read. Dr. Moore placed the historical side
at the beginning of this book as part of the introduction but the elements are still
placed in a practical view. The history is part of Dr. Moore‟s dissertation and the
background of the creation of the Moore Management Model.
I believe this book will bring clarity especially to those who don‟t
understand the true concept of being a good leader. This book is instrumental to
not only a person in a leadership position for a business but it can also be
instrumental to parents since they are also leaders in their household. I always
believe that the concepts use in an organization is the same concepts that should
be used in running a household successfully. I am pleased that Dr. Moore‟s work
in the leadership arena is exactly what the world needs right now. The Moore
Management Model will be a useful tool to assist leaders in the present as well as
the future.
