Produktbeschreibung
Gregory is a strong leader who is facing yet another test. After taking control of the sofa business he loves, it was meant to be plain sailing. But his plans are not delivering enough. The market is relentless and his chairman is unmoved. He needs to do something radical, without rocking the boat. There is already tension within his management team and a charismatic team leader is beginning to stir up trouble on the shop floor… The Incredible Transformation of Gregory Todd is a management novel which has been crafted to offer a short-cut to priceless experience in leadership and managing change. This reflects the practical art of transformation which Andy Sheppard first discovered in McKinsey & Company and which he continues to practise in industrial organisations around the world. Equip yourself to navigate sustainable change in your organisation. Much of your learning will come at the expense of Gregory and his team as they encounter many of the common pitfalls in leadership, change-management and operations management. Lessons will include: What it means to lead your organisation through change (and not just to give it your full support); How to control performance without suppressing your workforce; How to overcome inertia (with substance and speed); How to surface and channel resistance to change (and not just to deal with it); How to reduce costs and capital (while still improving customer service and morale).
