The Accountable Leader
The Accountable Leader is centred
around three themes – leadership,
accountability and organizational
structure – and explores what it means
for managers to be held to account at
all levels in an organization. This
enlightening title demonstrates that
most leadership-related problems
arise from the ineffectiveness of
organizational structures that lack
accountable jobs.
During the course of the book, the author looks at the link between accountability, organizational design and leadership. The Accountable Leader illustrates how the three concepts are related, and how accountability is at the heart of sound organizational architecture, which in turn is a pre-condition for truly effective leadership, leadership development, and a rewarding career path.
Including numerous international case studies and practical tips, The Accountable Leader brings home the importance of clear accountability as a necessary and robust platform for the assessment of potential leaders and leadership development.
The Healthy Organization
Despite the huge volume of research on organizational design, ranging from
the
work of management gurus and journalists to that of sociologists and
behavioural
scientists, most organizations remain profoundly unhealthy.
In this fully updated second edition of his groundbreaking book, Brian Dive reveals that the unhealthy features of both large and small organizations all stem from the same source, namely the lack of true decision-making accountability (DMA), and he introduces a totally new approach to leadership development.
By following the steps outlined in the book, Brian Dive reveals that healthy organizational management will lead to greater competitiveness, spark innovation and increase employee empowerment and commitment..
