From The Authors
Virtually every manager and CEO wonders why his or her organization doesn't perform better ... like it used to! What's gone wrong?
When, despite using all the cutting-edge techniques, effectiveness has gone stale, the authors contend the malaise probably rests with how the leaders are inadvertently behaving ... causing an unclear, unfocused, sub-energized organization. What worked before (when challenges were less complex) no longer does. It's not a case of just "doing differently." It's a need for the CEO to better understand his/her drivers because they're being perceived with ambivalence.
These drivers aren't the normal ones like integrity, quality and responsiveness. Rather they are even deeper, more personalized. They derive from old fears, past successes, and major aspirations.
This How To, easy-to-read book helps the CEO and his/her organization learn what these inherent drivers and especially their limitations are ... and then model the key leadership trait of vulnerability so that others want to help them ... and their peers ... succeed! They see a leadership team more in sync, as well as how their own skills are critical to creating success. They then model this new behavior themselves, holding each other accountable, practicing a self-actrualizing peer dynamic rather than a controlling boss-subordinate one. This book describes a process which will ensure better execution, more motivated employees, higher productivity, more new ideas, more satisfied customers, and increased profits.
