Is your company run by a team with no name?
At the top of every organization chart lies a myth--that a
Senior Management Team makes a company's critical decisions. The
reality is that critical decisions are typically made by the boss
and a small group of confidants--a "team with no name"--outside of
formal processes. Meanwhile, other members of the management team
wonder why they weren't in the room or even consulted ahead of
time. The dysfunction that results from this gap between myth and
reality has led to years of unproductive team building exercises.
The problems, Frisch shows, are ones of process and structure, not
psychology.
In "Who's in the Room?" Bob Frisch provides a unique perspective
to this widely misunderstood issue. Flying in the face of decades
of organizational psychology, he argues that the solution lies not
in addressing behaviors, but in unseating the senior management
team as the epicenter of decision making. Using a broad portfolio
of teams--large and small, permanent and temporary, formal and
informal--great leaders match each decision to the appropriate team
in a fluid, flexible approach that you won't find described in
management textbooks.
"Who's in the Room?" is based on interviews with CEOs at
organizations ranging from MasterCard to Ticketmaster to The Red
Cross.Understand and embrace the way decision-making actually

Organizations will get better decisions and superior results by
unleashing the full potential of their Senior Management Teams. And
bosses will see a dramatic drop-off in people coming into their
offices asking, "Why wasn't I in the room?"
