Fiberboard covers, 11.5 x 9 inches. Very Good with some sunning and edgwear to the covers. Minimal annotation. With two laid-in certificates of completion "Management Training - Human Relations" (1955) and "Management Training - Communications and Company Organization" (1956) awarded to Joseph W. Grady of the Pittsburg and Shawmut Railroad Company (PSR, originally the Brookville and Mahoning Railroad), Kittaning PA. First section has 111 pages numbered by hand in the upper right corner; second section unpaginated and containing information specific to the PSR including meeting minutes from the courses, which were held in sixteen half-hour sessions each, beginning in 1954. A detailed look at the white collar management of blue collar jobs, incorporating psychology and "practical experience." Particularly interesting in the "Discipline" content. The meeting minutes reflect group exercises in which managers role played theoretical situations with rogue employees and decided whether they should be fired or otherwise sanctioned.
