Features: Subvert the management model of heroic leadership, inspire employees' infinite creativity — NEWBRIDGE Administrative Club strongly recommends "Say NO to Heroic Leadership." This book reveals the management thought traps that lead enterprises into difficulties, proposing for the first time a vibrant, hyperdynamic post-heroic leadership culture to fully release employees' productivity and work potential. The book transforms the concepts of shared leadership and responsibility into practical suggestions. Efficient and practical, it is worth reading for every manager in today's high-tech era. This book is another powerful work by David L. Bradford and·R. after the international bestsellers "Excellence in Management" and "Influence Without Authority." It aims to discuss new concepts of leadership. In countless books and articles, experts have repeatedly pointed out how businesses have become globalized and how competitive they are, urgently needing bold reforms to cope. These arguments are already familiar to everyone. Many organizations respond by downsizing personnel or expanding the control of management layers. They also try to broaden the leadership base and responsibility through similar initiatives such as total quality management, worker participation, participative management, self-directed work teams, and full empowerment. Your organization may have adopted one or more of these initiatives for experimentation. Although the relationship between leaders and subordinates is the main factor affecting an organization's success, both supervisors, managers, and employees may face this complex and unresolved challenge in practice.
