Corporations need great leaders - particularly during times of
distress and crisis. Shareholders, employees, and longtime
customers all experience firsthand the disastrous effects poor
leadership can have on the human side of the business equation.
Leadership in the Eye of the Storm is a practical and inspirational
guide that helps professionals create opportunity out of chaos. The
book's insights are gleaned from the real life experiences of four
North American profiled leaders who successfully navigated through
the epicenter of their own storms by focusing first on the needs of
their employees and families, and then the needs of their
organizations. Events discussed include the 9/11 attacks, Hurricane
Katrina, and the SARS outbreak. Tibbo offers a framework emerging
from these narratives that enable future leaders to identify and
cultivate the skills and behaviours required to not only meet the
challenges but seize the opportunities that arise in times of
chaos.
There is a growing interaction between companies and countries,
illustrated by a constant flow of trade, capital, and work. With
the rapid emergence of other countries with sufficient potential to
join the globalization process, it is necessary to provide
techniques for managerial planning, organization, and control in an
international context. Managerial Competencies for Multinational
Businesses is a collection of innovative research on the methods of
leadership styles and skills required for managers to be successful
in an international company. Highlighting a range of topics,
including human resource management, industrial relations, and
international careers, this book is ideally designed for senior
managers, business professionals, team leaders, and human resource
managers seeking current research on the key aspects of managing a
company in a developing globalized market.
Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, PracticesManagement is an organized body of knowledge. "This book," in Peter Drucker's words, "tries to equip the manager with the understanding, the thinking, the knowledge and the skills for today's and also tomorrow's jobs." This management classic has been developed and tested during more than thirty years of teaching management in universities, in executive programs and seminars and through the author's close work with managers as a consultant for large and small businesses, government agencies, hospitals and schools. Drucker discusses the tools and techniques of successful management practice that have been proven effective, and he makes them meaningful and easily accessible.
