Produktbeschreibung
Good employees are your organization's most valuable resource. But attracting, developing, and retaining talented people requires an environment where people are energized and connected to their work, and where they take the initiative and act as owners of the business. A Company of Leaders shows how to navigate the often difficult journey to real empowerment at all levels of the organization and create a kind of "volunteer employee" workforce-employees who choose to work because they are energized by what they do. This book shows how to stimulate the kind of creative tension that fosters leadership throughout an organization through the practice of five key disciplines: * Self-Empowerment: how to set the stage for others-because only an empowered leader can develop an empowered workforce * Vision and Challenge: how to inspire and align people to the organization and its mission * Support and Security: how to create the psychological safety necessary for people to feel comfortable in taking on the risk of leadership * Openness and Trust: how to create an atmosphere that fosters real employee involvement in the organization * Guidance and Control: how to create the boundaries and structures necessary to assure the empowered behavior stays on track
