Recenzii

'Jens does a masterful job of defining the 'ambidextrous organization' that can manage the paradoxes of individual competencies and organization capabilities, managing culture as a shared mind-set and personal behavior, and leadership as personal abilities and organization capabilities. This book offers ideas with impact and can be useful in defining organizations as bundles of capabilities more than structure.'
-Dave Ulrich, Rensis Likert Professor of Business, University of Michigan; Partner, The RBL Group
"Many company leaders want innovation and profitable growth without changing the way they've operated for years. Other leaders want to rapidly explore new business opportunities without nurturing established practices that ensure financial and operating stability. Jens Maier helps us see in this insightful and accessible book how to do both in order to lead effectively."
-Jeff Semenchuk, Chief Innovation Officer, Hyatt Hotels Corporation
'Jens Maier's erudite and entertaining book explains how companies and individuals can use 'both hands' to exploit existing competitive advantages and explore new ones. It is a commendable blueprint for tomorrow's corporate world.'
-Prof. Eric Cornuel, Director General and CEO, EFMD

This book offers practical insights for executiveson how to frame the challenges and to develop solutions for both their organizations and their own leadership careers.'
-Zeger Degraeve, Dean, Melbourne Business School
