The Exceptional Manager: Making the Difference de Rick Delbridge

The Exceptional Manager: Making the Difference

Autor Rick Delbridge, Lynda Gratton, Gerry Johnson, The AIM Fellows
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 sep 2007
Most businesses face the choice of either competing on the 'low road' of cost, or the 'high road' of innovation and value. Much the same goes for national economies and the UK is no exception. But how do businesses - and the people who manage them - go beyond the policy prescription and the easy exhortation to make that shift, to manage change and go well beyond business as usual?This ground-breaking book - the combined insight of some of the best minds in management, grouped together in the Advanced Institute of Management Research - does just that. It presents a clear and crisp analysis of the context and the challenge; and offers managers a range of ideas on how to develop the competences, practices and values that can make a difference. It is essential reading for policy makers, analysts, academics, and managers to be who want to make a different future.

Recenzii

Review from previous edition Conventional wisdom suggests that economic competitiveness is assured simply through deregulation and getting government out of the economy. The evidence suggests, however, that what organizational leaders do matters a great deal for both countries and companies. This book speaks to the necessary mind set and activities of managers who want to see their organizations thrive in a world of increasing global competition around innovation and ideas.
Clarity and good sense are surprisingly rare qualities in a book on corporate management. This book combines both, and will help managers to think more clearly about what they are trying to achieve, and policy-makers to understand better why some companies thrive and others fail.
Managers make less difference to businesses than they - or the public - think. This book explains why - and what can be done about it.
'The book is a lucid and powerful exposition of how the exceptional manager of its title should go about this task.'
...packed with constructive ideas...
The Exceptional Manager points in the right direction.
The authors get you thinking outside of the organisation, and consider the wider economic contexts in which businesses can thrive...I think those involved in transformation leadership and organisational change will find it valuable. The Exceptional Manager shows that managers at all levels within a business can make a significant difference to the success of the organisation
Many, perhaps most, management books sell success recipes - short cuts claiming to make the job simpler and easier. The twin originality of The Exceptional Manager (Oxford University Press) is that it starts from the other end, by identifying what is problematic about managing, and then fitting its advice to the context of the UK today...the book is itself both a working model of practice-led enquiry and a step towards an evidence base for UK management.
This book combines both clarity and good sense and will help managers to think more clearly about what they are trying to do...Managers who want to see their organisations thrive in a world of increasing global competition can learn a great deal from this book.
