Principle Centered Leadership

customer reviews

PRINCIPLE CENTRED LEADERSHIP will help solve these dilemmas - and many others:
* how do we achieve a wise and renewing balance between work and family in the midst of constant pressures and crises?
* how do we unleash the creativity, talent and energy of the vast majority of the work force, whose jobs neither require nor reward such resources?
* how can we have a culture characterised by change, flexibility and continuous improvement and still maintain a sense of stability and security?
* how do we create team spirit and harmony among people and departments that have been criticising and attacking each other for years?
* how do we get people and culture aligned with strategy, so that everyone in an organisation is as committed to the strategy as those who formulated it?

Characteristics of Principle-Centered Leaders
