Summary

The truly effective leader today must be one who leads others to lead themselves. The rapid pace of change demands fast and flexible responses throughout the organization-there's no time to wait for directives from the top. And the highly-skilled workers so vital to organizational success also demand a high degree of independence. Old-fashioned command-and-control leadership is just too slow and stifling.
Charles Manz and Henry Sims, Jr. pioneered the concept self-leadership in their bestselling book SuperLeadership. In The New SuperLeadership, the authors present new content and examples designed to help leaders develop the kind of autonomous, quick-reacting workforce necessary to thrive in these turbulent times. This enriched and expanded edition takes the concepts in the first edition to another level by emphasizing a pragmatic, how-to approach for developing leaders at every level of the organization.
Drawing on contemporary examples and profiles, many from the high-tech and information sectors, Manz and Sims shatter the myth of the traditional, aggrandized versions of "heroic" leadership. They show that a leader truly becomes successful by turning followers into extraordinary self-leaders-pillars of strength that will support the organization at every level. They detail a series of action-oriented steps through which the SuperLeader provides an opportunity for followers to express and develop their own leadership skills-and in the process become highly motivated, dynamic contributors.
The New SuperLeadership critically reviews traditional leadership styles, vividly illustrating the drawbacks of each: the "Strong Man" whose reliance on fear-based compliance smothers initiative; the "Transactor" who promotes a narrow "what's in it for me?" mentality; and the "Visionary Hero" whose powerful personality inspires commitment but inadvertently discourages independent thinking. By bringing out the leader in every employee, SuperLeadership enables leaders to avoid these pitfalls and develop an enthusiastic, innovative and energized workforce.
The New SuperLeadership is a radically new way of looking at leadership, offering a leadership paradigm ideally suited to the realities of the modern workplace. It reveals that the only way to succeed today is to tap into the innate leadership potential that lies within every employee.

    7 Principles for Finding Meaning in Life & WorkWorld-renowned psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning is one of the most important books of modern times. Frankl's extraordinary personal story of finding meaning amid the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps has inspired millions. Frankl vividly showed that you always have the ultimate freedom to choose your attitude—you don't have to be a prisoner of your thoughts.

Drawing on the entire body of Frankl's work, they identify seven “core principles” and demonstrate how they can be applied to everyday life and work. This revised and expanded third edition features new stories, practical exercises, applications, and insights from the authors' new work in MEANINGology®. Three new chapters outline how we all can benefit by putting meaning at the core of our lives, work, and society. And a new chapter on Viktor Frankl's legacy illustrates how his work continues to influence so many around the world.

    The pressure on executive teams is immense. They keep being challenged by stakeholders about the need for change and radical transformation, and not just on becoming greener and more sustainable. The pressure is also about becoming more dynamic and adaptive and less bureaucratic. There is a jungle of models and thousands of books claiming to have the answer. No wonder many feel overwhelmed and confused.In This is Beyond Budgeting: A Guide to More Adaptive and Human Organizations, award-winning author Bjarte Bogsnes describes a tested and proven way of making organizations more adaptive and human. This involves radically changing traditional management, including the budgeting process, the central nervous system of rigid and bureaucratic organizations. In this book, you’ll learn to establish a highly decentralized and dynamic management model with more adaptive and self-regulating processes, designed in line with and not against human nature.The author explains what the Beyond Budgeting model entails and illustrates its use with real-world case studies of companies that have implemented it to great effect. He discusses the most common challenges encountered during the implementation of Beyond Budgeting, including the challenge of changing not just what we do, but also how we think. This includes discarding the two main assumptions behind traditional management; that the future is predictable and plannable, and that people can’t be trusted.This is Beyond Budgeting demonstrates how to take the principles of agile and scale them up to enterprise level, through a comprehensive model that offers a coherent combination of leadership principles and management processes. The book also describes the many benefits that companies can realize by exploring and embracing management innovation as boldly as technology innovation.This audiobook will earn a place in the libraries of managers, executives, board members, and other leaders seeking a better way to lead and manage in new and different realities, with increasing complexity and volatility, and where employees have new and different expectations, way beyond just a paycheck.
