There is no way back. Change is everywhere ? in society, politics, business ? and it is turbulent. Existing structures are being dismantled and new ways of competing (and collaborating) are being formed. The only option is to be adaptive and to create the best from what is possible. This book tackles the change that every organisation is subjected to, by offering a different leadership style. Its aim is to get the best from everybody, which requires a genuine people-centric approach. But it also involves shifting towards an agile way of working, where accountability and resources are delegated to people deep in the organisation so that they can focus on customer centricity, innovation, and value creation. Contrarian but relevant, this book is essential reading for business leaders and managers who are seeking a better future for their organisations. AUTHORS: Dirk Devos, Manon de Wit and Robert Lubberding are senior consultants from Courage11, an international consultancy that specialises in transformational leadership. SELLING POINTS: .
