If, as many CEOs claim, employees are our most valuable resource,
why are those resources being depleted? More precisely, why are
employees being depleted of the energy, motivation and pride that
make them fulfilled and proud employees - and human beings?
Dysfunctional organizations and demoralized employees are the
result, Daniel Wentland writes, of a management-employee
relationship that must be redefined and revitalized. As he writes,
when leaders truly value employees and treat them as partners
rather than subordinates, everyone in the organization will find
that giving forth their maximum effort is the best - and easiest
thing to do. Nothing less than a new paradigm is needed, and in the
book Daniel combines his academic research with the insights he
developed as a manager with large organizations to describe the
important steps that will enable employees and managers to create
that new, exciting paradigm. Stephen Bernhut, Editor, of the Ivey
Business Journal Leaders everywhere can be grateful to Professor
Wentland for providing comprehensive guidance that allows them to
shape organizational culture in a way that releases the full
potential of managers and staff members alike. Wentland effectively
combines his hands-on knowledge of organizational best practices
with a synthesis of the relevant scholarship available on key
points. Managers will find this book a useful and provocative tool
as they continue to move their organizations from ""good"" to
""great."" Karen Halbersleben, President of Northland College,
Ashland, Wisconsin The information in Organizational Performance in
a Nutshell provides a comprehensive framework for understanding
questions like why does one organization thrive while another
struggles for survival even though both are operating in the same
industry, or how can some of the largest global organizations such
as GM, Ford, Chrysler, Home Depot, Sears, Kmart, Airbus, Citigroup,
Gateway, and Dell perform so poorly after being such colossal
leaders in their industry? A new way of thinking about
organizational effectiveness will emerge from the information
contained in this book. In sum, organizational performance in a
nutshell will be revealed.
