Why you should read Leading For Innovation And Organizing For Results

Some 23 experts on management from academia and the private sector share their ideas on how you can take that bloated bureaucracy and turn it into a nimble and innovative machine. The book offers no quick fixes, as illustrated by the authors’ observation that innovation is a culture, and not an event. Of special interest is the included list of practices that squelch innovation. getAbstract.com recommends this book, which was inspired by management science pioneer Peter F. Drucker, for executives and all devoted students of the management arts.
