He also concluded that capable leaders were those who understood and applied the system of profound knowledge.Four-Cornered Leadership: A Framework for Making Decisions examines the system of profound knowledge and identifies the competencies that set the stage for its successful application. Illustrating the relationship between leaders and followers, it analyzes each of the four pillars that support Deming's system, in relation to prevailing management and organizational theory. It describes a set of competencies based on these core principles that convey very different assumptions about people and organizations.The book supplies you with a new way to view leadership that is based on learning and continual modification in response to prevailing conditions. Highlighting the connection between the four elements and an individual's ability to lead, it presents methods that are applicable in any organizational setting-including government, industry, and education. Presenting information in bite-sized chunks supported by charts and graphs, the book provides you with a clear understanding of: - The importance of system interdependencies - Why people behave as they do - How people learn, develop, and improve - The variability of work - How to manage interaction dynamics The book examines the complexity of human nature and relates it to group and organizational dynamics.

It is also a suitable reference for newly appointed leaders, managers, and supervisors who have excellent technical skills but have not been exposed to the emotional aspects that typify a capable leader.…
