Cornell professor earns business book award

NEW YORK - A book by a Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations professor has been named one of the 15 best business books of 2005 by Fast Company magazine.

The book, "Get Them on Your Side: Win Support, Convert Skeptics, Get Results," was written by professor Samuel C. Bacharach, an expert on organizational behavior and the McKelvey-Grant Professor of Labor Management at the ILR School.

Using illustrations from business, government, academia and nonprofit organizations, Bacharach shows how executives can build political competence and develop specific leadership skills to get results.
The book was also recognized by the national Canadian newspaper, The Globe and Mail, as one of the top business books of the year.
In addition, Harvard Management Update discussed the book and author in its January 2006 issue.
Bacharach is director of three New York City ILR programs: the Institute for Workplace Studies, Master of Professional Studies and Smithers Institute for Alcohol-Related Workplace Studies. He conducts certificate-based seminars for labor and business leaders on proactive leadership. Most recently he published studies on the effects of workplace stress on New York City firefighters and transit workers.
