2019 Reprint of 1963 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. JOE D. BATTEN (1925 - 2006) was the Chairman of the Board of the management consulting and human resource development firm,
Batten, Batten, Hudson and Swab
, Inc., whose headquarters were located in Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa. A prolific writer, Batten also published a number of books on management, including
Developing a Tough-Minded Climate...for Results
(1965);
Beyond Management by Objectives
(1966);
Dare to Live Passionately
Guide to Successful Living
(1969);
The Confidence Chasm
(co-authored with his daughter Gail Batten, 1972); and
Expectations and Possibilities
(1981). Mr. Batten reached thousands of people with his philosophy of "tough-minded" living and working; a bold and articulate author, his works enriched the lives of many managers. On this work critics write:
