An Introduction to the Business-Within-a-Business Paradigm (2002)
Monograph describing a compelling vision of high-performance organizations and the implications for governance.
EMPOWERMENT
In just 42 pages, this monograph draws together many of the topical issues of leadership into a compelling vision of how organizations should work.
It challenges executives to think in new ways about... organizations as networks of entrepreneurs, rather than hierarchies of power; governance by designing the right influences into the organizational fabric, rather than by bureaucratic, disempowering policies and controls; leadership by building organizations in which everyone can succeed, rather than by personally making all the big decisions. You'll wish your vendors worked this way. You'll wish your government worked this way. You'll wish your staff behaved this way. You'll wish your bosses thought this way. It just makes sense. An understanding of this vision characterizes, perhaps even defines, a great leader -- one who is not just a strategist or people manager, but who designs organizations that prosper with or without him/her. You can use this vision to guide day-to-day decisions about your organization, business processes, and governance toward a consistent long-term goal. Or it can provide the foundation for a breakthrough transformation process. It's a quick and stimulating read for leaders in corporations, not-for-profit institutions, higher education, and government.
