Product Overview
People want to do a good job. But much too often, the organizational environment they work in gets in their way. At a minimum, this wastes people's talents and energies, and puts impossible loads on executives. At the worst, it induces people to perform poorly, work at cross purposes, fight with one another, and burn out.
Meanwhile, organizations are facing tough challenges from their competition and a volatile, complex business environment. If everyone in an organization isn't doing everything possible to assure its success, the organization is doomed to mediocrity or even failure.
This book describes a straightforward approach to building healthy organizations -- ones in which everybody's talents are fully engaged and their independent actions are well orchestrated.
It is a handbook for executives who are disappointed with quick fixes, jaded about management fads, and fed up with solving the same problems day after day...for leaders who are tired of fighting alligators and ready to drain the swamp.
