Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. For leaders looking to instigate lasting change, Giraffes of Technology is the must-read leadership book of the decade.Kirkus Reviews called Giraffes of Technology, "A serious business book with a light touch, a clear message and much wisdom."Endorsed by designer Tommy Hilfiger, the Strategic Finance Review, and former CBS correspondent Jacqueline Adams, Giraffes of Technology is the book for leaders who wish to create a supportive and authentic work environment that propagates genuine loyalty from employees and staff.In six compact chapters, authors Dr. Hubert D. Glover and Professor John Curry describe how technology and changing cultural norms have come to favor leadership traits reminiscent of the giraffe.Giraffes of Technology uses metaphors and anecdotes to show how a giraffe's 'leadership' style is integral to a company's survival in today's cluttered and busy corporate climate. Drawing on real-world examples of successful companies who implement this leadership style, as well as Glover's own compelling upbringing, the authors sketch a picture of how leaders can succeed and thrive in a predator's world using servant leadership."Why did they title it Giraffes of Technology? In 21st Century business.organizations and their leaders often embrace a top-down, autocratic style in the quest to achieve short-term gains (e.g., quarterly profits for shareholders). Yet many studies in the area of servant leadership show that a nurturing, empathetic, and values-oriented approach creates greater business value in the long run." (Strategic Finance Review)"A compelling read using the giraffe as a metaphor to better understand what makes people successful." (Tommy Hilfiger, fashion founder of the Tommy Hilfiger Corporation)"The author's understanding of both how the giraffe functions and how human leaders operate enables him to draw comparisons that are intriguing and relevant." (Clarion Review Business and Economics)"These lessons and more will delight and inform anyone who wants to thrive in the next five thousand days of our digital revolution."
