About this title

From the Publisher:

Packed with tools and tips for managers and leaders who must anticipate and plan for change, you can't find a better resource than this book. It's to-the-point, clearly and simply organized, well written, with handy "Quick Reference" charts at the end of every chapter. Each chart gives you the influence on the natural force (i.e. suggestion programs, employee involvement, costs, image, market demands, etc.), management actions, and impact on employees. It's the kind of book that every manager will want to keep close at hand for those everyday moments when you feel caught in a natural force at work.

From the Inside Flap:

Resisting a natural force with powers all its own--whether a hurricane, a wildfire, or organizational change--can be a recipe for disaster, but learning to tap into its energy can lead to unheralded success. In this thought-provoking volume, author Peter Garber explains how to build operational and personnel systems around the powerful forces driving business success--survival, change, communication, mission, equity, performance, discovery, diversity, growth, and renewal--and demonstrates how their combined energy can create extraordinary results that are critical to organizational effectiveness.

10 NATURAL FORCES FOR BUSINESS SUCCESS offers advice on how to become a master communicator, learn to act as a change agent, and work in harmony with your organization's natural forces to reduce tension, conflict, and wasted energy. Sample dialogues illustrate various approaches to resolving common workplace issues, recognizing the role each of the ten natural forces plays in the interaction. And a quick reference chart concludes each chapter, outlining specific programs and action steps for managing or influencing the effect each natural force has on employees and organizations.
