About this title

Synopsis

As organizations become more global and less hierarchical there is a need for leadership to provide direction and cohesion and take companies through the organizational changes necessary for survival. This is a self-improvement course: readers can analyze their strengths and weaknesses with guidance on taking on new leadership roles, communicating change to employees, disturbing the organizational culture to make things happen, and mobilizing staff to pull in the same direction.

About the Author

Paul Taffinder is an Associate Partner at Andersen Consulting. Formerly a director of Coopers & Lybrand until 1998, he joined Andersen Consulting to concentrate on helping clients with the leadership of complex change. Following a Master's degree and then PhD in organizational psychology - and what he describes as ""a mercifully brief career in the mining industry"" - he turned his attention to organizational research and consultancy, becoming passionately interested in the shape of corporations to come and the importance of the socio-psychological driving forces that underlie the world of business. His first book The New Leaders looked specifically at the role of leadership and change, an area in which he has years of in-depth experience consulting internationally. A provocative speaker at international conferences, he is emerging as one of the foremost thinkers on the psychology of organizational change, tenaciously challenging uncritical management orthodoxy, raising the ambition of business leaders, and is now the winner of the prestigious MCA prize.
