Business

Today's dynamic business environment requires new ways to man- age, lead, work, and organise. Traditional paradigms of efficiency, agency theory, transactions and scale are replaced or augmented with principles that focus on people, self-organisation, and purpose for greater innovation and growth. To expand on his previous books, Lukas Michel presents new research, practical applications and the experience with People- Centric Management, agile organisation and work on the system to establish new management where people unlock their talent, master greater challenges and perform at their peak. The book offers the legendary People-Centric Diagnostic that forces the reader to decode and rethink the many assumptions underlying their management model and systems. In combination, the people-centric model, the three-step process and action agenda will help executives establish leadership everywhere to succeed in a dynamic environment.
