Senior teams fail less often on strategy than on their own working relationships, and that is the ground this collection covers.
Harvard Business Review gathers ten articles on how leadership groups set direction together: aligning on priorities, holding each other accountable, resolving disagreement without splitting the organisation, and deciding when information is incomplete. The material addresses pressures specific to the top table, including culture-setting and steering a company through periods of rapid change, with examples drawn from documented corporate practice.
Good to know before buying:
• Written for the C-suite and senior leadership groups specifically
• Covers alignment, accountability and executive decision-making
• Material on resolving conflict among peers of equal rank
• Part of the Harvard Business Review Must Reads series
Suited to executives, senior managers, board members and advanced business students. Available from Boipoka.
