Opis

""SuperLeadership"" was coined by authors Charles Manz and Henry Sims to describe a management style that focuses on ""leading others to lead themselves."" In their earlier book of that title, they established a philosophy that moves away from the typical hierarchical models (the traditional autocratic, heroic, or directive approach to leadership) to show how to utilize the richest resource a company can have: employees who are empowered and transformed from followers into ""follower self-leaders,"" or superleaders.

In The New SuperLeadership, the authors bring this philosophy into the real world with contemporary examples and profiles from the high-tech and knowledge-based business sectors. Special emphasis is given to how organizations and managers can undertake the transition to this new management style.
