Deengineering The Corporation : Leading Growth from Within
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Creating and sustaining competitive advantage must be the driving issue as business leaders prepare their organizations, their employees, and themselves for the challenges of the 21st Century. Deengineering the Corporation: Leading Growth from Within shows companies how to take charge of their own destinies in order to propel growth.
Growth is the single most important business and personal theme voiced by business leaders as they grapple with constantly changing business environments. Organizations and individuals must now be prepared to take charge of their own destinies in order to drive growth rather than to depend on outside experts expounding cure-all fads. The degree to which an organization executes its own "leadership strategy" will determine how well it survives and prospers.
But before any leadership strategy can be implemented, an organization must execute the following four actions:
Take back control of your organization.
Eliminate the residue of failed and unfulfilled change initiatives which restrict growth.
Focus on the basic foundations of both management and leadership.
Build a change-responsive organization through developing change-responsive people. The above actions define "deengineering" - the path towards creating and sustaining organizational growth. Deengineering The Corporation: Leading Growth from Within presents a clear, simple, and flexible guide to implementing a leadership strategy for growth. The book is replete with the success stories of strong, favorable role models with whom the reader can identify, as well as case histories that demonstrate "deengineering" principles in action. The experiences of the authors, and over twenty contributors, offer unique insider information that bring home the message of leading growth from within in a practical, easy-to-follow manner. END
