Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Silence Killing Your Strategy? In his thirty years of working in corporations, Harvard Business School professor Michael Beer has witnessed firsthand how organizational silence derails strategic objectives. When employees can't speak truth to power, senior leaders don't hear what they need to hear about their company's fitness to compete, and employees lose trust in those leaders and become less committed to change. In Fit to Compete, Beer presents an antidote to silence--principles and a time-tested innovative process for holding honest conversations with everyone in your organization. Used by over eight hundred organizations across the globe, the strategic fitness process has helped leaders in a diverse range of industries--including medical technology, information technology, banking, restaurant chains, and pharmaceuticals--hear the raw but necessary truth about the sources of misalignment between their strategies and their organizations. In addition to step-by-step instructions, Beer offers detailed and illustrative case studies of companies that have conducted honest conversations to great effect. He also shows how to apply the process more broadly to a variety of strategic challenges and at multiple levels throughout the organization. Practical, enlightening, and comprehensive, Fit to Compete is the book you should turn to if you to want create winning strategies that your entire company will rally behind.
Download or read book Developing Leaders written by Mary Hladio and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to close the gap between job satisfaction and genuine engagement—and create training and development plans that produce passionate leaders. Many companies and managers fall back on traditional and standardized training events when trying to improve upon broad areas that can’t really be managed—such as change, time, and stress. Mary Hladio knows that these approaches don’t work and the numbers prove she’s right. Research by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) shows that while over eighty percent of employees are generally satisfied with their current positions, less than seventy percent feel passion and excitement for their job, and just over half feel tuned in at work. That’s a thirty percent drop-off between satisfaction and engagement. To properly influence culture in a way that results in better engagement, business owners and company executives must first understand what optimal engagement would look like in their company, and that’s what Developing Leaders is all about. It is not simply designed to show people the problems with their current approaches, but to provide workable solutions—and a blueprint for how to link a company’s development objectives to their corporate strategy as a precursor to creating any developmental plan. “Hladio tackles one of the most critical components of your success. You will begin to learn both how to be a leader and how to identify others as true and worthy leaders.” —Jim Stovall, bestselling author of The Ultimate Gift

Download or read book The Future of Leadership Development written by Susan Elaine Murphy and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2003-09-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership in today's organizations is a tough business. Organizational leaders face a number of challenges as their jobs, and the world around them, become increasingly complex. Trends, such as organizational "delayering," rapid technological advances, and increased employee empowerment require that leaders adapt their techniques and styles of leadership to meet these new challenges. Consequently, there has been an explosion of interest in leadership in recent years as researchers and management educators struggle to understand the process of leadership development, how it operates, and what characteristics make effective leaders. Born of these questions, the 11th Annual Kravis-de Roulet Leadership Conference at Claremont McKenna College brought together an impressive slate of scholars whose theories, research, and cutting-edge techniques are now gathered together in this impressive volume. Each chapter asks and answers questions about the current state of the field while providing future direction for research to help bridge the gap between leadership researchers and leadership development practitioners. Notable topics include chapters on "e-leadership" and leadership within the "virtual" organization, exploring 360-degree feedback, the importance of "social capital," and a comprehensive analysis of the well-researched theory of Leader Member Exchange.
Download or read book Leadership Through Group Process and Facilitating Skills written by Joan Haley and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you run board meetings, community groups, a family, a staff meeting or you teach, you are a group leader. But whether or not you are a good one is an open question. Joan Haley, who has led groups and given presentations most of her professional life and studied educational theory and training, shares a proven process for effectively leading groups and provides many concrete techniques to facilitate learning. She shares the Group Process Formula® which is a conceptual framework she developed to work with groups of any kind. The Formula is a failsafe structure ensuring leaders enjoy their groups and maximizes the learning of each participant. Just as important, she reveals how a leader effectively facilitates learning so that participants feel the group is a safe place to work through their own process of self-discovery, and utilizes the power of the group as a whole to bolster that learning. Haley provides information to make sure participants walk away with newfound skills, attitudes and behaviors to use in their lives.
