The crisis is of long standing and its signs are widespread. Most proposals for improving management address one element of the crisis at the expense of the others. The principles described by award-winning author Stephen Denning simultaneously inspire high productivity, continuous innovation, deep job satisfaction and client delight. Denning puts forward a fundamentally different approach to management, with seven inter-locking principles of continuous innovation: focusing the entire organization on delighting clients; working in self-organizing teams; operating in client-driven iterations; delivering value to clients with each iteration; fostering radical transparency; nurturing continuous self-improvement and communicating interactively. In sum, the principles comprise a new mental model of management.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAuthor outlines the basic seven principles of continuous innovation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe book describes more than seventy supporting practices\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDenning offers a rethinking of management from first principles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is written by the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Language of Leadership--\u003c\/i\u003ea \u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e Selection in Best Books of 2007.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan established organizations learn how to innovate?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Leader's Guide to Radical Management shows how innovation can become an organization-wide capability, a part of an entire firm's DNA.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe need is urgent. The economy-wide rate of return on assets is one quarter of 1965 levels. Workers are disgruntled. Customers are frustrated. Brands are unraveling. Executive turnover is accelerating.

These workplaces feel different.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMost management improvements address one facet of the organization at the expense of others.

Success is about surpassing expectations, and Denning does so here. This isn't merely radical, it's revolutionary!\u003cbr\u003e --Peter Guber, CEO, Mandalay Entertainment Group\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a wonderful book. It's like having an extended conversation with Steve Denning, who is one of today's most acute and creative critics of traditional management thinking. You would ignore the ideas in this witty, candid, and erudite book at your own peril. Denning shows how to reinvent management based on a more accurate and effective understanding of how humans work best together. This book makes a great text for any extended discussion about how we should be doing things.\u003cbr\u003e --Laurence Prusak, author, Working Knowledge and What's the Big Idea?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this provocative book, Stephen Denning introduces the seven principles of radical management, along with more than seventy supporting practices. Radical management focuses the entire organization on the goal of constantly increasing the value of what it offers to its clients, not merely producing goods or services or making money for shareholders. The seven interlocking principles comprise a new mental model of management: focusing the entire organization on delighting clients; working in self-organizing teams; operating in short client-driven iterations; delivering value to clients with each iteration; fostering radical transparency; nurturing continuous self-improvement; and communicating interactively. The principles and practices simultaneously inspire high productivity, continuous innovation, and deep job satisfaction, and result in surpassing client expectations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than offering a quick fix for today's complex workplace problems, radical management rethinks the nature and purpose of management. It addresses the questions: \"What is good? Who is it good for? Is it good for the organization? Is it good for those doing the work? Is it good for those for whom the work is done? Is it good for society at large?\" At the very foundation is open communication. Managers and workers must communicate interactively, using authentic narratives, open-ended questions, and deep listening, rather than treating people as things to be manipulated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe principles and practices outlined in this book create a work environment that lifts up the human spirit and inspires the exhilaration of extraordinary performance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSTEPHEN DENNING\u003c\/b\u003e is a leading writer who consults with organizations in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia on leadership, management, innovation, and business narrative.
