Agility in business has become one of the most important management
topics of recent times. The ability to create and respond to change
in order to succeed in an uncertain and turbulent business
environment is the essence of agile. But being agile starts with
the leader, who has to make the shift from traditional "command and
control" to "enabling people". This book is a practical workbook
for leaders on their journey to achieving agility. It moves the
conversation over agility into practice; exercising measures and
techniques that will encourage leaders to adapt with changing
times. To help and encourage leaders to make that personal shift,
it offers ideas and tools to master agility in their organizations.
Designed to be sensible and self-reflecting, the book also includes
an appendix of over 20 exercises that have been tried and tested
with executives all over the world in their successful pursuit of
agile.
Management guru Henry Mintzberg defines "management" as the art,
science and craft to get work done. In that sense, management
touches everyone, everywhere, anytime. For all business leaders,
management is one of the most basic and important processes to
achieving your goals. This important book shows how management can
be turned into your competitive advantage. For management to be a
competitive advantage, it must be better management. Recent
research has shown that companies that have established agile,
people-centric and dynamic capabilities - and have got rid of
traditional management methods - outperform others by a huge
margin. From this, the author offers six key principles of better
management, that will provide the platform for all business leaders
and organizations to make the shift towards greater performance.
The time has come for better management. But better management is
not merely about adding new labels to the current ways of doing
things; it is much broader than efficiency and alignment. In this
book, Lukas Michel offers senior executives and managers tools to
understand a new way of discussing and thinking about management
and work, which requires us to take on a broader perspective of the
company and its culture. It's every manager's prime job to manage
better: to change the way they lead people and how they organise
work in the new (post-pandemic) business context. The book
discusses the role of the operating system to do that and clarifies
managerial priorities and goals. This then sets the stage for
Diagnostic Mentoring - the methodology that enables the
transformation of the way we manage.
This book argues that people-centric leadership is essential to
succeed in the new dynamic business context. It offers four agile
levers for leaders to unlock the full potential of people and turn
valuable business opportunities into value for society. The
challenge for leaders is to balance the tensions between the
changing business context and the needs of people to apply their
potential. People are at the centre of attention in this book. To
unlock the full talent of people and succeed in a dynamic context,
people need a work environment which differs from traditional
organizations. It's an organization with tools, capabilities, and a
culture designed for people. It caters to the individual.
Organizations that want to deliver superior outcomes in a dynamic
environment require agility - agile tools, agile capabilities - and
a culture with a shared mindset that enables people to serve
customers.
Evidence suggests that only about 10% of start-ups and 30% of
entrepreneurs make it beyond 5 years. Methods for control and
leadership in the start-up or early growth stages are wildly
different from those needed to successfully manage a complex
organization consisting of multiple departments, divisions, product
lines, or geographic spread. To succeed, business leaders should be
aware of which stage their organization is in, the characteristics
of the current stage, and the characteristics of the next stage.
This book explores various common patterns of management styles and
then offers transition strategies to help managers to succeed in
the digital economy. The authors guide leaders to prepare for these
transitions by laying the foundations or infrastructure needed to
prevent a crisis that inhibits further growth. They also provide
leaders with a greater understanding of the growth framework, which
will help leaders to manage better the development of their
companies.
It is a new era. To win in an increasingly dynamic and volatile
environment, leadership teams must be agile - they must be flexible
enough to react to early signs and act on them quickly. An agile
company needs good decision-making at all levels - from the centre
to the periphery, tapping into the full potential of the people,
operating model, information technology and leadership practices.
And decisions are made by people. This guide forces you to
re-examine the assumptions underlying your leadership and how
agility within your company can be built through a three-point,
people-centric approach. The author's insights will help you
understand your options, make the choices required to successfully
coach your team, and start creating agility as a competitive
advantage today.

What can we learn about the human mind by studying language? The
predominant approaches in American linguistics use theoretical
assumptions about the formal nature of grammar to answer this
question. But these studies are restricted to unapplied models of
language, not how language functions in actual speech
situations--and as a result, their power to reveal the workings of
the human mind is limited.
This book overcomes those limitations by examining data on
naturally occurring language usage, not simplified theoretical
examples. The cognitive and functional arguments made here start
from psychologically realistic principles and arrive at
perspectives of linguistics that unveil mechanisms of the
mind--based on how language is actually used.
Moving within a cognitive and functional framework, this volume
focuses on the motivations for linguistic patterning in human
social and cognitive experience, and on the dynamic properties of
language construal, use, and development. Among the main research
avenues represented are first language acquisition, metaphor,
language processing and discourse, and conceptual structure and
grammar.
