Opis

Most executive leaders will tell you they re constantly striving to move their organizations toward some envisioned future, a future that includes increased trade, company and employee self-confidence, and customer satisfaction. And yet, this goal is often elusive because few executives possess the required know-how. But now, in 4X4 Leadership and the Purpose of the Firm, you ll find how you can successfully move the levers of change that will make this threefold dream a reality for you and your company.

In 4X4 Leadership and the Purpose of the Firm, 25 years of hands-on experience from some of the country s most senior vice presidents and CEOs is at your fingertips. You ll find out what top executives really worry about and how they use their influence in order to orchestrate positive change. In this book s integrated, systematic model, you ll tap into the synergy in the enduring architectural components that sustain any company--assets, people, organization, and systems--and discover in yourself the honorable and persistent executive leader who s waiting to take charge. Specifically, you ll read about:

• the ultimate destination--trade
• how to successfully manipulate the four levers of change to increase trade
• the management of self-esteem
• customers--their needs, wants, hopes, and worries
  
  While most books on management and leadership training focus only on one or two methodologies, 4X4 Leadership and the Purpose of the Firm is an overall, systemic model that is both professional and practical. Its "big picture" overview will give sharp focus to the often blurry and indistinct nature of organizational goals. You ll uncover revolutionary insights on financial and behavioral change and see that the organization-wide improvements you re dreaming about are only a memo or phone call away.
