Infos

For over fifty years, Charles Handy has set the tone for leadership thinking. In this business classic, he lays out one of his most famous ideas: the four types of organisational culture, as exemplified by the Greek Gods.Culture is central to a company's efficiency and success, whether it is shaped by a Zeus-like central power or the task-oriented focus of Athena, by Apollo's hierarchical assignment of roles or the person-centred preference of Dionysus. Successful leaders know their own styles, and cultivate these qualities to create dynamic, productive teams that are top of their field.

Rezensionen

This is stimulating and worth reading

Charles Handy is a world-class business thinker

A forward-looking radical

Handy's jargon-free observations pack more power because of their clarity and prescriptive nature.

A management guru ... his predictions about the way we work could qualify him as a prophet. And he writes "like a dream"

A man with a lifetime's experience... One of the more stimulating books on management.

The UK's management guru

This is a serious book ... entertaining as well as instructive.
