by Ichak K. Adizes (Author)
To be successful, managing a company or a team cannot take a one-size-fits-all approach, and it cannot rely on the "ideal" manager or "perfect" executive because none exists in the real world. Neither are all management styles equal. Knowing the differences in management styles - the good, the bad and the ugly - is as critical as ever. Some styles lead to peak performance and superb organizational success, while others lead to mismanagement, finger-pointing, and failure. Can you tell the difference in this complex world characterized by constant change, unrealistic expectations, and fear of conflict? By improving your understanding of the full spectrum of the styles that managers all the way up to the senior leadership team utilize, you can better identify your own management style, learn how to find qualified people with management styles that complement yours, assign tasks that match others' style, and improve your overall managing in a way that positions you for advancement. This book will open your eyes to the inner workings of management excellence and expand your ability to detect the maladies of mismanagement so you can lead your company or team to optimal organizational health and top performance.
