The Power of Organisation: Enabling Managers to Coordinate Actions That Produce Extraordinary Innovation and Results for the Intelligence Era and Beyond (Stories From The Edge) - Softcover
Book 1 of 3: Stories From The Edge
Synopsis
The Power of Organisation is the first business management book in a series comprising seven books, each one aimed at highlighting a different aspect of organisation design. Both the challenge and the opportunity faced by business organisations today have never been greater, and the current leadership and management theory is inadequate to resolve the paradox that exists.
Whilst this is a strategy book, it mainly sets out an easy-to-follow framework that leads to action. The authors' purpose in writing this book for you is to help you dramatically improve the performance of your business in the direction you want to take it and make work a consistently worthwhile experience for all.
Their intention is that this book will provide you with the thinking, tools and approaches to develop the leadership and management technology that you will require to bring your vision into reality. They promise, by the end of this book, you will be able to tap into the power of organisation and the source of its energy. They will give you the processes to be the champion, define your strategic intent and be capable of building a truly human social organisation to bring your vision into reality and deliver extraordinary innovation and results.
This important series, written by two of the most highly respected authors in their field, will bring new impetus and new focus on the way that organisations can be developed for maximum effectiveness.

From the Back Cover
The business world, from the largest corporations to the newest startups, is faced with a mind-boggling paradox. How can they maintain control of their business whilst at the same time giving their people the freedom to be truly innovative? It is a paradox that started with the industrial revolution and one that has been renewed by the influence of the pandemic. The secret lies within organisation itself, not the entity, but the coordination of action that leads to positive human connection, surprise and outstanding results.
The Power of Organisation is the first book in a series comprising seven books. Each one aimed at highlighting a different aspect of organisation design. Both the challenge and the opportunity, faced by business organisations today have never been greater and the current leadership and management theory is inadequate to resolve the paradox that exists.
Michael McMaster, business owner, consultant and the author of seven books, has spent the last 40 years writing and developing ways of organising so that individuals can experience true freedom in the pursuit of a well-defined strategic intent.
Along with Adrian Brown, who has over 34 years of experience in running, and consulting small and medium-sized businesses, they have addressed this paradox and show you, the business leader, manager or champion how to organise for success.
From the Inside Flap
'About time' was my first thought when I tucked into The Power of Organisation.
At last, a business book that wasn't about business . . .
Instead, a business book that was for business . . .
For where business is right now and where it needs to go next.
That will empower managers and leaders to create the meaningful organisational changes and continuous innovation their businesses are going to need to survive.
But don't mistake this as a social commentary.
Far from it.
This isn't a book for business school libraries . . .
Or the latest flick for leaders to tick off their reading lists . . .
Neither has it been written to flatter the egos or careers of its authors.
For all the external forces at play, the answer and opportunity lie within.
The book gets its hands dirty in the same way it urges businesses to do so: with a clear framework for how to build a culture that enables their people to contribute collaboratively both to the benefit of the customer's experience and the organisation's creative direction.
Not as lip service or a chapter in a company handbook crafted under a carefully curated mission statement to be people-led . . . but by driving performance and strategy from bottom-up projects led by people who genuinely feel connected, invested and empowered to contribute daily and, at the same time, for that to impact organisational change.
