Being able to change to keep pace with a rapidly changing world is the key to business success in the '90s. Enlightened Leadership is a practical, hands-on guide to breaking through the barriers to organizational change. Doug Krug and Ed Oakley show why most efforts at change fail -- and they provide leaders with proven methods for getting their people moving in the right direction. The key lies in showing those who would be change agents how to capitalize on their organization's greatest asset: the under-utilized talent, expertise, and energy of its existing staff. The authors' program is based on maximizing the contributions of all employees -- by sharing information, decision-making, and planning with them -- creating a shared culture of organizational goals, strategies, and methods. Managers and leaders at all levels -- from small business owners to corporate strategists -- can use Oakley and Krug's proven techniques, including planning, communication, and motivational tools, to support their employees in effecting the positive changes that will make the difference in achieving their organizations' bottom-line goals.

A Fireside Book

Making Managers into Leaders (previous title of Leadership Made Simple) will greatly improve how managers work with people. Managing will even become simple, fun and effective in developing the leadership skills of anyone who reads it. Once you experience our simple Framework for Leadership-TM to solve one of your most critical issues, you will never do things the same again especially when it comes to people! You ll be amazed at the simplicity and effectiveness of the Making Managers into Leaders concepts and tools. The Framework for Leadership-TM takes advantage of two fundamental concepts important in working with people, teams and organizations. The first concept is what we call Forward Focus. In the challenging world we live in, it s so easy for people to see all the reasons they can t get something done, or why it can t be done on time or on budget. A critical leadership responsibility is to keep people focused on the solution more than the problem. The Framework focuses you on the solutions and what a great place to be when looking at the leadership skill development of the people in your organization. The second concept is the idea that the people in the organization have the answers to the challenges they face. They are intelligent, smart, creative and understand the situation better than anyone else. If we just ask them the right questions, they ll come up with the creative solutions. Asking those right questions is a critical role of leadership and could be a part of any leadership skills training. The Framework guides you to asking the right questions.
