"This book is a must
read for CEOs and
executive level managers"
Tony Raia, Ph.D
Distinguished Professor
Emeritus of Management,
UCLA |
Emerging from an idea supported during a requisite organization clinic held by Elliott Jaques and Ken Shepard in 1999, this is the first book in the GO Society Reading Series In Organization Design.
The Executive Guide containing 32 empowering articles - authored/co-authored and edited by over 40 CEOs, consultants, academics, and management educators from 7 countries - is written specifically for CEOs, their C-Level Team and General Managers who want to create highly productive, accountable organizations within which employees thrive in roles that suit their capability.
Furthermore, if you are a Manager in a functional role who supports the efforts of your C-Level Team (CEO/CFO/COO), you will gain insights into what you (and your team) can accomplish with these challenging pieces.
The GO Society Reading Series Executive Guide will be of great interest and value to all students of Administration, Organisation Structure and Human Systems including Managers, Consultants, and Academic Researchers who seek a proven, 50+year science-based model to underpin their work.
