Old Dogs New Tricks

This book shows how today’s lean organizations leverage the talents of senior managers to design faster, better, and more profitable organizations through creative collaboration. Moving from the authoritarian model of “control, order, and predict,” to a new paradigm of “acknowledge, create, and empower,” these organizations continually reinvent themselves to address new markets and capitalize on new technologies. These essays reflect Bennis’s latest thinking and insights, showing how authoritarian managers may be transformed into collaborative and creative leaders.
