Gives new ideas and new ways of thinking about the problems of American business. Focuses on the changes of the organization from the top to bottom: and includes the performance of senior and middle managers, white collar professionals to workers on the shop floor blue.
Takes a critical, in-depth look at the values and attitudes of today's executive and explains how management can improve performance by finding, motivating, and keeping this new business elite. This book is the result of interviews with more than 400 managers at over 300 companies, including those on Fortune's 'most admired' list, as well as smaller, highly innovative firms. Written by one of the most eminent members of the Harvard Business School, it skillfully narrates the stories of how individual managers have made big gains--or losses--for their companies and shows that an organization's success in the marketplace is dependent on its workforce, especially its managers. Mills' ideas, case histories, and strategies are food for thought for those who are looking to creatively position themselves and their companies against the competition, and willing to challenge old assumptions.
Assesses the forces that will buffet the United States and the global order through 2050.
The authors show how to "manage" ingenuity--and "manufacture" the next great idea, in other words they tell what managers need to know about how artists and highly creative people work.
