Toxic Leaders: When Organizations Go BadQuorum; Marcia Lynn Whicker
ISBN: 9780899309989
Publisher: Quorum Books Publication Date: 1996 Binding: Hardcover Drawing upon her extensive experience and research in various types of organizations--business, political, even religious organizations--Dr. Whicker looks closely at three distinct types of leaders which she categorizes as trustworthy, transitional and toxic leaders. In a clear and readable style she describes leadership subtypes for transitional and toxic types: the absentee leaders, the busybodies, controllers, enforcers, streetfighters, and the bullies, all of whom are dangerous to their organizations and are directly responsible in many cases for an organization's decline. Whicker makes clear, however, that there are ways to protect oneself from such leaders, and shows exactly what these strategies are. A compelling, anecdotal, authoritative analysis for anyone in any organization who has ever wondered "why did the boss do that -- and why to me?" |

New Business Opportunities in Latin America: Trade and Investment After the Mexican MeltdownQuorum; Louis E.V. Nevaer; Greenwood Pub Group Quorum Books
ISBN: 9781567200232
Publisher: Quorum Books Publication Date: 1996 Binding: Hardcover There are no miracles in Latin America, says international consultant Louis Nevaer--only opportunities--and with economic integration well underway, these opportunities are more promising than ever for U.S. businesses. Trade barriers fell at the Summit of the Americas, and even the Mexican "meltdown" failed to dim the Latin American promise. How U.S. businesses can participate in these processes of democratization and liberalization in Latin America is the subject of Dr. Nevaer's wide-ranging discussion. With attention not only to economic and trade considerations, but also to social, political, and cultural events and characteristics of the Latin American business scene, Dr. Nevaer provides readers with unusually rich up-to-date insights into how business is done there and how U.S. businesspeople can do it. This is important reading for corporate management at all levels, economists, international bankers and investors, and for their colleagues in the academic community who share their interests. |
