From the publisher
From the jacket flap
When the first edition of this book was published, the United States was in a time of recession, financial crises, and growing unemployment. Sound familiar? Many companies rose to acclaimed success from these conditions by improving the quality of their products and services by shifting control from top management to employees closer to the work. This revised and updated edition of The Empowered Manager casts fresh eyes on the theory and practice of optimizing the human system in your organization in the context of how today's businesses are changing at the speed of technological innovation.
Business has changed a lot in thirty years, but the philosophies and practices managers use to lead teams are still stuck in a patriarchal mindset. This brilliantly reimagined Second Edition is for everyone who wants to be a force for change and improvement in a stagnant workplace culture where safety, advancement, control, and the desire to hold someone else responsible is forefront on people's minds. The potent blend of theory and actionable practices provides a clear path for embracing the technology eliminating the tedious tasks from employees' job descriptions and empowering them with the abilities to better serve customers. Whether you're a manager or an employee, the inspiring guidance inside lets you step out of the negative office politics fueling the status quo and gives you the skills to act with autonomy and compassion in service of a vision in order to "own" the performance of your team.
Bring out the entrepreneurial spirit in your entire team and get them invested and excited about the work by:
- Creating a unit that exemplifies your deepest personal beliefs about your employees and the organization and puts in place the systems to make it a reality
- Developing high-integrity strategies for neutralizing adversaries, motivating fence sitters and focusing mostly on allies
- Mastering practical tips for aligning your vision with everyday practice, including how to handle meetings, restructure teams, and manage communications
The Empowered Manager, Second Edition gives you a clear path to becoming the leader your organization needs to positively impact performance, build accountability, and enhance job satisfaction for everyone--including top management.
