Management 2.0 - Is it Possible?
It appears that it's not just the US Congress that is mired in uncertainty. The challenge facing many organizations is how to push toward success when the present gloabal economy still appears unstable. Revolutions in the Middle East, the mounting U.S. deficit, and the runaway costs of health care all ratchet up risk with no clear stabilizing force or resolution in sight. May has historically been a month to celebrate labor, so we have decided to turn our strategic attention toward management.
What is Management 2.0? For this month’s readings, we have selected a few different perspectives on leadership challenges. They are all short, so we hope you will take a look at them all.
Ron Heifetz describes Adaptive Leadership, its associated risks, and why our attachment to authoritative leadership needs rebooting. Gary Hamel’s book, Leading the Revolution (2000) explored ways to reinvent business models in light of the dot com technology bubble; his more recent title is The Future of Management. Our readings also include insights from Bob Thomas at Accenture's Institute of High performing leadership.
