The Job, the Man, the Boss
by
Katherine M.H.  Blackford, M.D.
and
Arthur Newcomb

The book is scientific, because it is organized knowledge based upon verified facts.

It is practical, because it has grown out of fifteen years’ experience in advising young men and young women in the choice of their vocations; counseling employers in choosing, placing, handling and training employees; investigating industrial and commercial institutions for the purpose of professional advice upon efficiency in general and increasing the efficiency of employees in particular; in the installation, operation, and supervision of employment departments under the Blackford Employment Plan.

It is definite, because it recounts in detail the operation of this Plan, reproducing all forms and blanks used.

It is clear, because the story is simply told and illustrated with many reproductions of photographs.

ARE YOU AN EMPLOYER?

You will find here, fully explained, the scientific basis of employment—­the fundamental principles upon which an efficient working force is organized.  These are not mere theories but are the same principles upon which all successful employers and managers have built.

Here is a plan, too, fully tested in practice, and now in use by many firms.

Every phase of the relationship between employer and employee is treated from the standpoint of sound theory and successful practice.  These include analysing the job and the man, choosing executives, the art of handling men, and educating employees.
