Features: This book is truly a masterpiece! Few management books can analyze why leaders encounter various responsibilities from a psychological perspective. Roger Martin has changed the paradigm of management. The interpersonal interactions revealed in The Responsibility Virus are the dividing points that lead to organizational failure. It also explains why many organizations fail to make strategic decisions. The framework introduced in the book is persuasive, and the methods it provides are practical, making a significant contribution to the fundamental knowledge of management. Are you a control freak? Or a passive follower? You are likely one of the two, and you may not even realize it. This can severely harm your company, your clients, and your colleagues. Why do you engage in such harmful behavior? Because you are afraid of being held responsible for failure, and it is precisely this fear that makes failure inevitable. Management guru Roger Martin, known as a "Future Pioneer" by Financial Times, calls this fear of failure and the resulting behavior the "Responsibility Virus." He uses vivid examples from management practice to show how this virus "infects" companies of all sizes and non-profit organizations, and teaches you the cure for it.
