Renowned leadership, management, innovation consultant, and author of the visionary and provocative book The Leader's Guide to Radical Management: Reinventing the Workplace for the 21st Century, Stephen Denning, shares his seven principles of radical management. The concept of radical management is one that focuses on the entire organization to increase value. The idea moves far beyond the goods and services being produced and marketed. It also transcends merely making money for shareholders, making the approach truly radical. The holistic method invites a complete re-imagining of management and purpose, and includes innovation into the DNA of the company. Stephen Denning invites leaders to rethink the entire organization from top to bottom and from the inside out. The result is greater productivity, more and richer innovation, more engaged employees, and more satisfied customers.
