- Summary
- Are Americans too comfortable to do their jobs effectively? Danger in the Comfort Zone answers with a resounding "Yes!" This powerful new work by Judith M. Bardwick addresses a crucial threat to our nation's economic survival. It shows how an epidemic of complacency has crept into every phase of American business--from employees who don't begin to earn their keep, to executives who are too preoccupied with perks to demand high productivity from themselves or others. Dr. Bardwick shows how this malady is at the root of the productivity crisis that has damaged America's competitive position and threatens to destroy some of our most presitgious organizations--Publisher's description.
