Why have jobs gotten so much worse? In Our Least Important Asset, Peter Cappelli argues that as financial accounting has become the guide for determining the success of companies, its inability to assess the reality of employment creates distortions and a short-sighted approach to management. In the process, employers undercut decades of evidence about what works to improve the quality, productivity, and creativity of workers. Drawing on decades of experience and research, Cappelli provides a comprehensive and insightful critique of the modern workplace, where the gaps in financial accounting make things worse for everyone, from employees to investors.
