Beyond Control by Fred Lachotzki
Technology has made it possible to apply a new management philosophy. Leaders can let go and still be in control. They can involve key people without losing momentum. Companies can consistently measure organizational capability over time, and accurately benchmark 'soft' management areas, and a virtual CEO office really does work. Founded on three key insights (the operating arena; managing by pull and push; and the web-based dialogue centre), Beyond Control offers a revolutionary model for shifting the management focus from structured control to guided interaction. Using this approach companies can build a participative operating system that creates space for managers to excel, and avoids the unpleasant surprises that can lead to corporate scandals."This book is full of well presented, sound advice..." (Professional Manager, September 05)
"...worth a read..." (Gulf Business, January 06)
"…important issues that need to be taken very seriously by all today’s CEOs…" (Long Range Planning, August 2006)
