Leadership, not necessarily a national industrial policy, is the
key to restoring America's competitiveness in the global
economy--and the key to leadership is the ability to think, not
management charisma or personality traits alone. Consultant Michel
Robert maintains that management must master a set of mental
skills, critical thinking he calls them, and use them to develop a
coherent strategy that others in the organization will accept.
Moreover, effective leaders encourage innovative thinking and apply
its decisively when problems arise. These skills can be acquired
by, and communicated to all levels of the organization. Codifying
them and presenting them systematically here for the first time,
Robert shows how he and his colleagues at Decision Processes
International have introduced them to their various client
organizations with measurable success. Robert advises management to
think globally, but act locally and to keep in mind that human
resources are growing scarcer, while the need for quality and
innovation is growing greater. He defines the three fundamental
skills of leadership, distinguishes between strategic and
innovative thinking, and describes how both contribute to sound
decision making. After illustrating what he means by the leader as
strategist, innovator, decision maker, process manager, and
implementor, he shows how these roles are played in, and contribute
to the creation of, learning organizations. He offers readers a
clear, useful method to assess the critical thinking ability of
their own organizations, then defines the point at which strategy,
innovation, and decisiveness intersect in the total package of
management skills. Illustrated with charts, diagrams, and
checklists, developed for DPI's clients, The Essence of Leadership
will be of particular interest and help to executives at all levels
and in all industries and organizations and to students of
management in the academic community.
