About this title

Synopsis

The Ascendant Organisation combines high effectiveness, control and commitment in all aspects of it's business to achieve long term success. Each by itself succeeds only in the short term. Peter Wickens, author of The Road to Nissan, unites 25 years of top level experience in Japanese, American and British companies with a special analytical insight to provide the knowledge and the know-how which guide the reader through the maze of hard and soft leadership issues. The aim is to move organisations from alienation, anarchy and apathy to ascendancy.
