Clearing the Bull - The Financial Crisis and Why Banks Need a Human Transformation (Hardcover): Jonathan Ledwidge Clearing the Bull - The Financial Crisis and Why Banks Need a Human Transformation (Hardcover)
Jonathan Ledwidge
R893 R748 Discovery Miles 7 480 Save R145 (16%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The financial crisis shows that the banking industry requires a transformation, as its business model and practices are no longer sustainable. Even so, such transformation cannot be made without "Clearing the Bull"-moving beyond old and tired orthodoxies in order to properly diagnose the problem.

Drawing on more than twenty years of experience in banking, author Jonathan Ledwidge shows how the financial crisis exposed the industry's poor system of values, leaving it mired in conflict with its human environment. Specifically, this includes how poor leadership, virtually unmanageable organizations, dysfunctional suppliers, infuriated customers, alienated employees, and dissatisfied communities all arise from the inability of banks to understand that values are more important than valuations.

As a result there is now a total disconnect between banks and their human environment. That disconnect cannot be fully addressed by conventional solutions involving more regulations, more governance, and more controls. Banks have a very human problem, and thus by definition what they require is a human transformation.

"Clearing the Bull" provides both a clear diagnosis as well as a detailed and comprehensive roadmap for the banking industry's human transformation-and while doing so it remains totally engaging and accessible to bankers and non-bankers alike.

The Human Asset Manifesto - What Happens When Organizations Allow People the Freedom to Be (Paperback): Jonathan Ledwidge The Human Asset Manifesto - What Happens When Organizations Allow People the Freedom to Be (Paperback)
Jonathan Ledwidge
R394 Discovery Miles 3 940 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

While dysfunctional human relationships are a widely studied topic, it isn't common to equate dysfunctionality to the relationships between organizations and their workforce. In his new book The Human Asset Manifesto; What Happens When Organizations Allow People The Freedom To BE, Jonathan Ledwidge makes the bold assertion that organizations are not only socially dysfunctional but they subjugate and destroy the human spirit! Managers often say good things about the importance of people but very seldom mean it, comments Ledwidge. This can be seen from the rightsizing, downsizing, reorganizing and outsourcing that happens with unabashed frequency. These actions represent a failure to comprehend the true value of people and people processes. Worse still, this cycle is constantly repeated even when it obviously doesn't work.
