Description

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.
