Description
Leadership matters. It makes a difference to the way your organisation performs and the way it is perceived by employees and outsiders alike.
The UK's leading leadership guru has distilled a lifetime's work to help you develop leadership within your organisation from board level right down to team leaders.
For the first time he tackles the issue of whether his ideas, which began life in a military environment in the 1960s, can be transferred to the modern workplace. With case studies from Mitsubishi, The University of Surrey Engineering Department and a not-for-profit foreign development programme operating in Armenia, Adiar comprehensively shows that his methods can be applied in any organisation, in any culture.
