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.
Achieving decisive, accountable, value-adding, managerial leadership is critical to effective organizations. Jaques and Clement approach this leadership question in an entirely new way.
By clarifying the meaning of leadership within the organizational structure. they show that all managers must have leadership accountability, and that there con be no such thing as an effective manager who does not effectively discharge that accountability.
It is in this analysis of what makes for effective managerial leadership that Executive Leadership is at its most radical. Jaques and Clement reject the notion that particular groups of personality qualities and traits characterize effective leaders and instead focus on the requisite organizational structure for managerial leadership to occur.
Executive Leadership is a refreshingly practical approach to the development of decisive managerial leaders at all levels of the organization. It is essential reading for all concerned with organization development, leadership and human resource management.
