Publisher Comments

This book provides interesting and informative reading as it explores leadership and the exercise of power in business organizations. Leadership is a function of both position and the ability to lead. The heart of the discussion revolves around the possession of power as the capacity to command and influence the behavior of others. A chief executive possesses power by virtue of status, but leadership involves the successful exercise of authority coupled with responsibility and accountability. The book is must reading for current executives as well as for those with aspirations to become effective leaders in their organizations.

Beyond the Hype: Rediscovering the Essence of Management
By Robert G. Eccles and Nitin Nohria
2003/12 - Beard Books
ISBN 1587982226 - Paperback - Reprint - 292 pp.

Beyond the Hype offers managers an encouraging message that will allow them to get the most from their ideas by focusing on the fundamentals of management.

Publisher Comments

Reengineering…total quality control…core competence. Countless management gurus have proposed these buzzwords that purport to offer the solution to every organization's problems. Beyond the Hype gets past the verbiage to reveal how things actually get done in organizations. Instead of focusing on panaceas for revitalizing companies, the authors concentrate on the very essence of what managers do: initiate action. Rather than prescribe a specific managerial framework, they propose a new way of thinking that emphasizes the judgment of the individual manager in determining what to do.

There are no magic wands, no silver bullets. The authors maintain that good management comes from selecting appropriate actions, communicating them through effective and inspiring rhetoric, i.e. getting a buy-in, and ensuring that they are accomplished.

The Web of Inclusion: Architecture for Building Great Organizations
By Sally Helgesen
2005/12 - Beard Books
ISBN 1587982773 - Paperback - Reprint - 316 pp.

A book to be read and reread by managers and persons interested in building successful business organizations.

Publisher Comments

This engrossing discussion is the reprint of the 1995 book that in 1998 The Wall Street Journal called one of the best all-time books on leadership. The author has devised the phrase "webs of inclusion" to refer to integrated and organic organizations which are effective because management puts itself in the center rather than at the top, and the lines of communication are open and diffuse. This new way to look at the internal structures of business has generated a great deal of interest and the phrase "webs of inclusion" has become part of the organizational lexicon. This clearly written book describes the web in operation and shows how the web can be weaved.
