About this title

From the Publisher:

Jaques and Clement have zeroed in on the most pressing issue of the 21st century, Executive Leadership.

In this new book, Elliott Jaques' remarkable microscope, through which we can examine the internal, personal world of human intent and the external social world of work, is made, for the first time, readily accessible to the reader. Just as Galileo allowed us to look at the stars with a new understanding of our physical universe, Elliott Jaques allows us to look at both our individuality and our human inter-actions in the workplace with a new understanding. The totally new social order available through this remarkable lens shows us our world as it really is - not as we have imagined it to be.

The application of these ideas by Clement and Jaques has had a powerful impact on US Army leadership, training and doctrine. They have now written this very practical book telling you, the accountable manager, how to achieve an organization full of people going along together in the direction you have set.

From the Back Cover:

"Jaques and Clement have provided a new and powerful system for helping to manage the corporate talent pool and for developing executive leaders. What they have come up with doesn't make my work any easier, but it certainly adds value to the effectiveness of our leadership development efforts!" David R. Whitwam Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer Whirlpool Corporation

"Burn all your other management books; they are only placebos. While they might give you the latest business buzzwords, they are otherwise not much use. Jaques and Clement provide a scientific approach to management based upon excellent research and lifetimes of devotion." Mark Kaminski President, Commonwealth Aluminum

"This book by Jaques and Clement is based upon Jaques' stunning discoveries about human capability, creativity, and problem solving which promise to alter drastically our deeply imbedded notions about human development, education, and social relations, not only in the workplace but in our society in general. In the century ahead, this work will surely stimulate debate and social movements with far reaching consequences." Ralph J. Olmo, Comptroller, George Washington University, and formerly, Chief Finance Officer and Comptroller, U.S. Department of Education
