It is built on a solid foundation of theory and empirical evidence that provides a compelling case for why specific competencies are important. The framework offers managers an enduring foundation for analysing what types of behaviors are most appropriate to achieve organisational goals in light of the existing environment. This edition overall gives a strong background in management skills and concepts needed on the job.

The Deep Change Field Guide: A Personal Course to Discovering the Leader Within

Developments in the areas of the global economy and computing and telecommunications technology have forced companies to rethink how they do business. This outstanding, up-to-date text is designed to enhance managerial leadership capacities, recognizing that today's managers need to be both technically and interpersonally competent. Describes the highly successful Competing Values Model which is used in management education and executive development programs around the world with impressive results.

Becoming a Master Manager: A Competency Framework

Becoming a Master Manager is an effective tool for stimulating thinking and building management skills. The book takes you through some of the social and intellectual challenges that managers encounter everyday, the most prominent being pulled by competing demands and having to play many roles simultaneously. This book uses the Competing Values Framework, a comprehensive map on which competing demands can be located and placed in context. 
Becoming a Master Manager includes: <ul>
<li>Managerial examples from real organizations that illustrate new concepts using relevant examples.</li> <li>Learning models such as, mini-lectures, individual presentations, group simulations, small group and full class discussion activities, to expand knowledge of management and real organizations.</li> <li>A hands-on approach.</li> <li>An assessment, learning, analysis, practice, and application approach with each competency.</li> </ul>

Students now need to gain a realistic, hands-on management education with emphasis on the development of leadership and interpersonal skills. This text suggests that everyone in a position of organizational leadership is expected to play eight basic, but sometimes contrasting, roles. The roles each comprise three competencies, and each competency is conveyed through a five-step learning model (Assessment, Learning, Analysis, Practice and Application - ALAPA). The first chapter of the text details how different management models have evolved historically and presents the "Competing Values Model", a theoretical framework of the eight contrasting roles. The final chapter integrates the roles and allows the reader to plan for long term career development.

In this empowering book, Robert E. Quinn, author of the highly successful and influential Deep Change, gives readers the courage to use personal transformation to positively impact their home life, work life, and communities -- to be what he refers to as "inner-directed and outer-focused."

Informed by the teachings of Jesus, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr. -- three of the most successful change agents ever -- Quinn outlines eight steps each of us can take to move ourselves and others to the highest levels of excellence. Following his advice, each of us can access and apply the power that lies within us in ways that will change our world for the better.
