Overview

This book shows you how to survive your company's reengineering by reinventing your management skills. You'll learn, step by step, how to lead and manage people, and your career, in an organization that values process over departments, and horizontal organization over vertical structure. You'll discover what it means to "think cross-functionally," "turn your organization on its side," and "streamline work." DuBrin shows you how to help employees achieve unprecedented work performance, implement radical change, handle increased workloads, acknowledge differences among employees and manage them effectively, implement processes effectively even when your company does not follow the textbook ideal of reengineering, and nurture other survivors of "right-sizing." DuBrin's unique career-building perspective focuses on what you care about most: your job. DuBrin helps you help yourself by providing: hard-hitting self-examination quizzes that objectively assess your skills; specific ways to be recognized as a team player, yet still be singled out for advancement; and checklists for adapting to new leadership and managerial roles.

Learn how to lead and manage people in an organization that values process over departments and horizontal organization over vertical structure. DuBrin suggests specific ways and provides tools to free yourself from traditional management paradigms and grasp the new leadership protocol.
