Download or read book Leading and Managing People in the Dynamic Organization written by Randall S. Peterson and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current business environment requires that individuals, teams, and organizations are equipped to cope with an unpredictable marketplace and increasing competition. Organizations are forced to be kinetic, organic, and without boundaries if they are to remain successful. Given these environmental and marketplace demands, scholars must rethink the applicability of existing organizational theories and frameworks. In March 2001, a conference was held with the aim of developing and articulating this new model of organizations. Scholars contributed their expertise in areas, such as leadership, human resource management, negotiation and conflict, teams, entrepreneurship, organizational change, power and influence, and diversity. The contributors focused on their own area of expertise and considered how existing theories must be altered to fit a more agile, organizational form. Theoretical and empirical questions were raised, testable hypotheses were developed, and emerging themes were uncovered. The end result of the conference is this volume. It brings together the reflections of a diverse collection of organizational theorists and researchers on the implications of this new business model within their own areas of expertise. The book's goal is to inspire organizational scholars to develop a new theory and produce sound managerial advice for how to build and maintain a successful organization in a dynamic workplace. The chapters include a review of research literature with the highlights and citations that everybody working in a field must know, followed by how the research agenda is affected by the increasingly dynamic marketplace.

Download or read book Managing and Leading People Through Organizational Change written by Julie Hodges and published by Kogan Page Publishers. This book was released on 2016-02-03 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tremendous forces for change are radically reshaping the world of work. Disruptive innovations, radical thinking, new business models and resource scarcity are impacting every sector. Although the scale of expected change is not unprecedented, what is unique is the pervasive nature of the change and its accelerating pace which people in organizations have to cope with. Structures, systems, processes and strategies are relatively simple to understand and even fix. People, however, are more complex. Change can have a different impact on each of them, all of which can cause different attitudes and reactions. Managing and Leading People Through Organizational Change is written for leaders with the key responsibility of managing people through transitions. Managing and Leading People through Organizational Change provides a critical analysis of change and transformation in organizations from a theoretical and practical perspective. It addresses the individual, team and organizational issues of leading and managing people before, during and after change, using case studies and interviews with people from organizations in different sectors across the globe. This book demonstrates how theory can be applied in practice through practical examples and recommendations, focusing on the importance of understanding the impact of the nature of change on individuals and engaging them collaboratively throughout the transformation journey.

Download or read book Managing and Leading written by John Cousins and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-29 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being an effective leader and manager means being able to communicate well and be decisive without being rash. In order to be effective you need to know the terminology and how to use the tools. It's the application a knowledge set and the ability to know when to apply what, and how to best apply it. The purpose of this book is to set the stage and lay out the context for achieving those goals. The old barriers to creating, marketing, and selling products and services have been drastically reduced in the past decade. Now small groups and even solo entrepreneurs can harness the power of computers and leverage communications networks and social media to do work and undertake projects that took many more people and resources in the past. These opportunities create a new leadership and management challenges as one has to direct the actions of people over which you have no direct control. This new environment has big implications for corporate leaders and managers as well. Fast agile flexible competition is constantly emerging. The best way to compete is to have those techniques in your toolkit and adopt them when appropriate. With technical innovations and computational power and connectivity driving many traditional costs toward zero, the barriers to organizing enterprises for productive work and innovation have been removed, or at least extremely reduced. Start-ups are viable and scaling up is achievable. These new opportunities are having a huge impact on the direction and the story of the making and re-imagining of the world; and the making and re-imagining of our individual lives. This book is designed to give you an overview of the skills of management and leadership so you can fully participate in this self-creation and world-creation.
