Quatrième de couverture
The Portable MBA in Management Get the Expertise without the Expense "Business is undergoing a revolution. The Portable MBA in Management provides the best thinking available on management and leadership issues to help you keep ahead of that revolution." Noel M. Tichy University of Michigan Professor and Director of the Global Leadership Program Author of The Transformational Leader and Control Your Destiny or Someone Else Will "A rare combination of approaches to leadership, teamwork, and change management. This book presents the best in–class contemporary thinking on how to optimize individual and collective abilities in organizations by providing a powerful set of management practices, tools, and methodologies to positively impact business results." Libby S. Finn Group Human Resource Manager Digital Equipment Corporation "The conventional wisdom is that good management consists of coming to correct solutions and making good decisions. This book illuminates why the conventional wisdom is wrong. The Portable MBA in Management describes how the kinetic energy of a good decision is produced by getting others to do the right thing. Even better, it gives the reader a perspective on how to release that energy." Robert E.
