A systematic look at how relationships determine the success of leaders and their enterprises, along with tools to help strengthen and change them

Since time immemorial, relationships have determined the fate of leaders. But today they are more critical to success than ever. No longer can leaders count on long time horizons or sloppy competition to make up for the inefficiencies that poor relationships create. Leaders must make decisions and take actions quickly and well with others, even those with whom they share very little?perhaps not even a time zone. This new world puts relationships at the center of what leaders must understand and master to succeed. Uses in-depth observational studies and clinical research to explore how relationships at the top of organizations work, develop, and changeShows how to understand, strengthen, and transform these relationships, so they can withstand the most intense pressures and conflicts

This important book features a Foreword by Peter Senge, author of "The Fifth Discipline."

Senge's best-selling The Fifth Discipline led Business Week to dub him the "new guru" of the corporate world; here he offers executives a step-by-step guide to building "learning organizations" of their own.

With climate change in the news, an urban core that has reached boiling point, and many children growing up without role models and with limited dreams, where is hope? There is a quiet experiment in Milwaukee that is turning heads. It starts with the simplicity of getting a city kid exploring their neighborhood park. How is it that so much life, community, and opportunity can grow from this unlikely soil? It's been called a miracle. It's contagious. It's spreading. It's exciting. And it works! This is the story of a group of ordinary people in a neighborhood who created something extraordinary. Readers will discover... the power of getting a city kid outside in nature; that kindness does work; how to say no while following the yes; the value of clarity and focus; how to find abundance within their own diverse community by simply and humbly asking for help; ten tried and tested rules for raising money (a lot of it!) while having a ton of fun doing it; a positive, believable, and very real vision for the future of the environment (we've got this!); and... how to join the Urban Ecology movement.

Die Entwicklung einer Theorie der Informationsproduktion gehOrt zu den dringli chen, bislang aber wenig vorangetriebenen Aufgaben der Betriebswirtschaftslehre. Die Betriebswirtschaftslehre muB den universellen Vorgang der in jedem Unter nehmen taglich stattfindenden Erzeugung von Informationen fur internen und ex ternen Bedarf theoretisch aufarbeiten und in eine analytisch leistungsfahige Kon zeption gieBen. Andernfalls lauft sie Gefahr, zu einer auf industrielle Sachgiiter beschrankten Partialtheorie zu verkiimmern, die die vehementen informations technischen und -wirtschaftlichen Veranderungen der Realitat nur noch staunend registrieren kann. Die vorliegende Untersuchung fuhrt nicht nur den konzeptionellen Nachweis fur die Moglichkeit einer Theorie der Informationsproduktion, die auf den Grund ideen der betriebswirtschaftlichen Produktionstheorie aufbaut. Sie legt auch iiber zeugende Vorschlage fur die Operationalisierung der zentralen EinfluBgroBen des Informationsproduktionsprozesses vor und bezieht dabei sowohl menschliche als auch maschinelle Trager der Informationsverarbeitung ein. SchlieBlich wird das Anwendungspotential der Theorie anhand der Informationsproduktion im Versi cherungsunternehmen demonstriert. Damit wird zugleich die konzeptionelle Breite und Leistungsfahigkeit dieser all gemeinen Theorie der Informationsproduktion belegt. Mit ihrer Hilfe gelingt es, die vorliegende, betriebswirtschaftlich vielfach unbefriedigende Produktionstheo rie der Versicherung auf eine neue Basis zu stellen und aus ihrer isolierenden Sonderstellung gegeniiber der allgemeinen Betriebswirtschaftslehre herauszufuh ren. Insofern leistet die Untersuchung auch einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Versiche rungsbetriebslehre."
