Aus dem Klappentext

Today's executives, leaders, and managers are strapped for both time and resources. They are expected to monitor and manage countless projects and initiatives, achieving results and maintaining competing, and occasionally contradictory, standards.

In The 5% Rule of Leadership: Using Lean Decision-Making to Drive Trust, Ownership, and Team Productivity, veteran technology executive and entrepreneur Anil Singhal delivers an insightful and contrarian discussion on leadership that busts long-held myths about how to create a powerhouse organization. Singhal explains how to build a resilient and effective company that can thrive in any economic environment and will stand the test of time.

The author draws on over thirty years of experience and outstanding results at NetScout, a premier network security organization. He walks you through the steps you need to take to successfully complete any project and convincingly demonstrates why high-level leaders only need to be involved in the first 5% of any undertaking. He also explains that if leaders lay the groundwork properly, they can safely delegate the next 95% to their team while providing limited oversight.

In the book, you'll learn how to avoid micromanagement and maintain your focus on big-picture strategic concerns by building a lean organization that doesn't overtax any one person or department. You'll discover how to implement a powerful, dedicated culture that emphasizes fairness, trust, and ownership while delivering a great quality of life for your team members.

Perfect for managers, executives, directors, and other business leaders, The 5% Rule of Leadership will earn a prominent place in the libraries of professionals doing their best to navigate today's unpredictable and volatile business climate.
