Riassunto

As organizations become more global and less hierarchical there is a need for leadership to provide direction and cohesion and take companies through the organizational changes necessary for survival. This is a self-improvement course: readers can analyze their strengths and weaknesses with guidance on taking on new leadership roles, communicating change to employees, disturbing the organizational culture to make things happen, and mobilizing staff to pull in the same direction.
