Synopsis
Everyyear, over 10,000 business books are published – and that’s before you add in the hundreds of thousands of articles, blogs and video lectures that are produced. Leaders can’t possibly hope to digest it all, and writers increasingly sensationalize and spin their ideas in order to be noticed. The result? Put quite simply, the field of management thinking is in danger of losing the plot. In this new book, Scott Keller and Mary Meaney Senior Partners at McKinsey & Company, the world’s preeminent management consultancy – cut to the chase by addressing the ten most important and timeless questions that every leader needs to answer in order to maximize the performance and health of their organization. What’s more, the authors recognize that great leaders may not have time for long-winded business books. In Leading Organizations, answers are kept to the essentials – hard facts, counter-intuitive insights, and practical steps – all presented in an accessible and highly visual format. If there’s one essential business book you should read – ever it’s this one.
