Harlan Cleveland ist einer der letzten gro en Denker im Geiste eines Peter Drucker oder Warren Bennis, der die dramatischen Veränderungen in Bereich Leadership und Management hautnah miterlebt hat.
Mit seinen 83 Jahren verfügt er über die Weisheit des Alters, den Vorteil gro er Erfahrung und über einen scharfen Verstand.
"Nobody in Charge" besteht aus einer Reihe wichtiger Schriften Clevelands zum Thema Leadership.
In diesem Band überträgt er seine Ansichten zur Unternehmensführung auf heutige Verhältnisse.
Jeder seiner Aufsätze konzentriert sich dabei auf eine ganz besonders faszinierende Erkenntnis rund um das Thema Leadership - teils persönlicher, teils professioneller und teils organisatorischer Art.
Eine moderne Lektüre zu einem aktuellen Thema: Cleveland geht weit über die Management-Tricks von heute (und gestern) hinaus und bietet statt dessen eine neue, erfrischende Definition von Leadership.
Everyone remembers the reaction when U.S. Secretary of State Alexander Haig took the podium at the White House the day John Hinckley shot President Ronald Reagan in 1981. "I'm in control here," Haig tried to reassure the public, contrary to the constitutional rules of succession. The response was neither outrage nor reassurance that someone was taking the helm. Why? Harlan Cleveland thoughtfully suggests good reasons that the primary reaction to Haig's statement was bemusement tinged with ridicule. He makes an articulate argument that the era when anyone could be in complete control anywhere has long since passed. The reason? Systems have simply grown too complex to be managed by one individual. Thus, the best leader for the "Nobody's-In-Charge" society is someone comfortable with decentralization, someone who can arrive at resourceful, unusual solutions. By way of imprimatur, management guru Warren Bennis wrote this volume's foreword. We from getAbstract recommend this treatise to those who are seriously curious about the ways that technological and societal changes are altering the leader's role.
