Aus dem Klappentext

DYNAMIC LEADER, ADAPTIVE ORGANIZATION

"This is the first in-depth guide for how to create an organization full of people who are reaching their potential. Dynamic Leader will become the executive handbook on practical leadership."

From an enormously accelerated pace of change to the need for clearly defined but infinitely flexible strategies, the new economy has produced a vast array of new work challenges. Now, the highly acclaimed author of FastAlliances(TM) introduces an innovative leadership methodology that allows managers to surpass these rising demands.

In Dynamic Leader, Adaptive Organization, renowned executive educator Larraine Segil identifies changing leadership models and reveals the ten critical characteristics for dynamic leaders in companies that must be flexible. She explains how these characteristics-fearlessness, completion, commitment, integrity, and more-enable managers and their organizations to adapt to changing environments and to direct change to their own advantage.

Ms. Segil organizes these crucial characteristics into the ten-pronged Larraine Segil Matrix(TM), a potent, step-by-step tool that enables you to:
* Understand and analyze your organizational environment
* Evaluate yourself as a leader
* Create a framework to use as a personal development tool
* Assess the fit between yourself and your organization
* Infuse your organization with adaptive characteristics

Based on interviews with more than 250 CEOs and senior executives from the world's most successful corporations, this authoritative guide illustrates the effects of dynamic leadership with diverse case histories such as of Shell Oil, Esquire magazine, Target, Kaiser Permanente, Kodak, and Xerox.

This innovative approach to management excellence helps you communicate more effectively; forge powerful relationships; and create a more flexible, more profitable organization. No matter what level of management you currently occupy, Dynamic Leader, Adaptive Organization gives you the knowledge, the techniques, and the confidence you need to become a change leader in your organization.
