Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern manager faces a bewildering range of challenges every single day. Their ability to make critical decisions, often under pressure, can directly determine the future success of the company and their career. It is therefore surprising that so few managers take the time to learn the art of decision making. In this groundbreaking book from Caroline Wang, readers will learn that quality decision making is a competence that can be acquired according to a simple framework. The framework is practical and easy-to-remember, consisting of two acronyms: GPA and IPO. GPA for decision content quality (Goal, Priority, Alternatives); and IPO for decision process quality (Information, People, Objective reasoning). The book places emphasis on leading a team to make decisions, even though the framework can be used for personal and individual decisions. By using this common decision-making framework, managers and leaders will gain credibility and team support for the decision, will confidently articulate, promote, and defend the decision, and will have made the necessary preparations for successful implementation when the decision-making process is complete. This proven framework from one of Asia's most dynamic leadership experts will improve the quality of your decisions and change the way you do business.

Book excerpt: Putting library management into the unique context of the not-for-profit world, this work offers you invaluable guidance on how to manage your library effectively. Managing a library presents a significantly different challenge than managing a small business, a corporation, or even a school or charity organization.

This guide shows librarians how to make the most of their inherent skills and develop new leadership strengths in order to become better library managers, advance their careers, and sustain their libraries—in spite of changing environments and shrinking budgets. The book examines many facets of managerial leadership, defines what managerial leadership is, and describes how to assess and increase leadership skills. The chapters also identify the constraints unique to libraries and explain how you can develop positive relationships with government boards, turn a vision into a practical strategic plan, and exercise fiscal control. You will gain invaluable knowledge about fund raising, developing political skills, advocacy and lobbying, and legal and ethical concerns, specifically in the library environment. The final section of the book is devoted to people skills—understanding yourself and others, developing staff, collaboration, negotiation, meetings and presentations, and creating future success.

Download or read book MANAGERIAL LEADERSHIP IN MULTICULTURAL ORGANISATIONS written by KUNNETH RAMAKRISHNAN and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-02-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The management and managerial leadership theories of eminent management thinkers, taught in the business schools, are thought-provoking; but relevant, perhaps, only to the era and the environment of their research and development. The effectiveness of these theories needs a re-assessment of their universal application in the globalised environment of the current era. To put it differently, traditional leadership styles of managers are being put to test in a culturally complex environment. The objective of this book is to evolve an effective managerial leadership to match the demands of the multicultural organisations, through a down-to-earth tangible and practical approach. Unifying the diverse categories of employees with different value systems, attitudes, lifestyles, behaviour patterns and linguistic abilities, is a complex and inescapable challenge to the managerial leadership. What we fail to notice is the significance of the power of positive managerial leadership–what is appropriate and what is outdated. The book contains numerous absolutely progressive and innovative concepts, methods and approaches which could help reorient managerial leadership behaviour of global managers and re-architect the organisations to which they belong. The author has undertaken detailed analysis of some of the important management theories taught in business schools, including their strengths and weaknesses. The book clarifies, conceptualises and recommends significant aspects of institutionalised positive managerial leadership in organisations. The important milestones are influence of culture on employee behaviour, positive organisational culture, profile of positive managerial leadership, their changing motivational roles, organisational assimilations of multicultural employees, new approach to employee welfare and some suggestions to evolve a future-ready achievable dream organisation. The following fresh concepts have been integrated with the discussion in the book: • Environmental Energy Effects (3Es); and their effects on organisational culture. • Emotional Environmental Energy Effects (E3Es) and their influence on interpersonal relationships. • Therapy for Quality of Life (TQL), a well-researched concept for actualising and operationalising the manager's concern for employees and their families. • Managing by Influence, a wholesome method of motivating and leading employees for raising their performance standard and dynamically contributing to their organisation. This book responds to the dynamic issues confronting the existing and emerging work culture in the corporate world. It is an ideal source for the management students, engineering students and the practising managers to gain a solid understanding of complex problems of modern managerial leadership, the subject matter of this book.

Download or read book The Practice of Managerial Leadership written by Nancy R. Lee and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-08-31 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Practice of Managerial Leadership describes the comprehensive, science-based set of principles and practices called Requisite Organization, developed by Dr. Elliott Jaques and his colleagues through consulting research work over 55 years in 15 countries. Nancy Lee worked with Dr. Jaques for more than 20 years. The book is written for managers at all levels and is focused on the managerial role because this is where guidelines are most needed to accomplish the goals of the organization. The use of these ideas results in increased productivity and profitability, enhances trust and provides employees with a healthy working environment conducive to personal growth. His thinking was a monumental reformulation of the basis of human capacity and organizational structure, reflected in thirty books. Jaques not only posited different levels of conceptual thinking among human beings but also elaborated the curves of that thinking over an adult lifetime. In turn, his conceptualization gave rise to a new logic for organizational structure, an area that had had no logic for organizational leadership and accountability. Jaques work requires readers to take the necessary time to grasp his innovation. It also requires radical change in how executives are chosen and companies are organized. Like all new thinking his work necessitates testing the applications in ones own organization. But grasping complexity need not be an overwhelming task. In this book Nancy Lee, herself an organizational consultant long immersed in Jaques conceptualization efforts, has made his thinking much easier to grasp. That, in turn, should make this volume, highly useful to executives, consultants and graduate students who seek to make organizations more effective. Dr. Harry Levinson, Emeritus Clinical Professor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School has provided a brief background on Dr. Jaques.

Download or read book The Most Effective Managerial Leadership Framework written by Chan Lai Huat and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book was written with one idea in mind: to provide newly appointed or promoted managerial leaders with the knowledge namely the MOST Effective Managerial Leadership Framework to quickly become more effective managerial leaders. It does this by quickly laying out for the reader a set of principles that can be immediately applied to their daily work life to increase their effectiveness as managerial leaders (Or even (grandparent)parents, older siblings, student project group team leaders). The critical knowledge is encapsulated in a mnemonic device to aid in quick recall and application. The book itself is then written in crisp, clear language that is easily understood. In addition, bearing in mind that people learns differently, the book is split into two halves. The first half of the book illustrates the mnemonic device The MOST Effective Managerial Leadership Framework using a storybook/fairy tale approach for those who learn best through exploratory narratives. The second half of the book explains the mnemonic device in simple, clear, unadorned instructional guide forms. It is left to the readers himself or herself to decide which learning method to use. Next, the book is designed as an atomic self-guide book that could be read in a short sitting perhaps an hour. Finally, it is intended that the book can be substituted for the annual Company Christmas Party useless-table-ornament-costing-less-than-ten-dollars Gift Exchange item. Senior Managers may also purchase it as a present for entry level or newly appointed or promoted managers or even staff identified as potential future managerial leaders. It then serves as a useful handbook.

Download or read book Becoming a Manager written by Linda A. Hill and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making the leap to management and leadership In your career, or anyone's, there is one transition that stands out as the most crucial--going from individual contributor to competent manager. New managers have to learn how to lead others rather than do the work themselves, to win trust and respect, to motivate, and to strike the right balance between delegation and control. Many fail to make the transition successfully. In this timeless, indispensable book, Harvard Business School professor and leadership guru Linda Hill traces the experiences of nineteen new managers over the course of their first year in the role. She reveals the complexity of the transition, highlighting the expectations of these managers, their subordinates, and their superiors. We hear the new managers describe how they reframed their understanding of their roles and responsibilities, how they learned to build effective cross-functional work relationships, how and when they used individual and organizational resources, and how they learned to cope with the inevitable stresses of leadership. Hill vividly shows that becoming a manager is a profound psychological adjustment--a true transformation--as well as a continuous process of learning from experience. Becoming a Manager, a veritable treasury of essential leadership wisdom, is a book you will turn to again and again no matter where you are on your career journey.

Download or read book Leadership without Ego written by Bob Davids and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you take a chain, pile it up and then push it, what direction will it go? Nowhere you can predict and not very far. If you take it by the end and pull it, which way will it go? It will follow you. Leadership is not about what sets you apart from those you lead—it’s about what binds you together. It is not about controlling others—it’s about trusting others. It’s not about your achievements—it’s about unleashing your team’s greatness. In short, leadership really isn’t about you—it’s about your people. Take Bob Davids, co-author of this book and successful leader of six businesses in fields as diverse as engineering and winemaking. His achievements often came thanks to being able to refrain from acting when others might have found intervening irresistible. By trusting his employees to be better than him in their area of responsibility and letting them act, Bob unleashed the human greatness that no one else—including employees themselves—suspected. Yet to lead without acting does not mean doing nothing. It means creating conditions in which things happen by themselves. Leadership Without Ego is about a transformation of the concept of leadership in the past two decades: a change of beliefs about how best to lead, along with radically different leadership practices. The ideas in this book have already changed the fortunes of hundreds of businesses and the lives of tens of thousands of employees. They can do the same for your business, your people—and you.
