Synopsis

In today's fast-paced global business environment, the conventional model of the corporation and its management principles no longer deliver results. Economic upheaval, changing demographics, and technological revolution have forever altered the requirements for running a business today. Now, in response, The Centerless Corporation presents a radical new corporate model -- designed for your organization's survival, growth, and prosperity.
Drawing on groundbreaking research they conducted at Booz · Allen & Hamilton, Bruce A. Pasternack and Albert J. Viscio offer a comprehensive strategy for managing in turbulent times. To deal with increasing complexity, they contend, leaders must abandon their command-and-control mentality and establish a model in which responsibility and accountability are distributed throughout the organization, employees are regarded as valued resources, and knowledge flows freely. Illustrating their ideas with invaluable real-life examples, Pasternack and Viscio explain how to attract and develop leaders, build coherence to unite all parts of an organization, and restructure business units and corporate roles to add value rather than overhead.

About this title

Review:

Bruce Pasternack and Albert Viscio, founding partners of Booz-Allen & Hamilton's Strategic Leadership Practice, have taken a comprehensive study on current business behavior that was conducted by their consulting firm and have used it to develop an intriguing new structure for companies of the future. In The Centerless Corporation: Transforming Your Organization for Growth and Prosperity in the New Millennium, they argue that decreasing bureaucracy and increasing communication in an environment where education and idea-sharing are actively promoted will prove a successful alternative to the top-down style of central management still favored by many businesses today.
