An all-new approach to understanding the (in)formal connections
of an organization
From the bestselling coauthor of the business classic The
Wisdom of Teams comes an all-new exploration of the modern
workplace, and how leaders and managers must embrace it for
success. Katzenbach and Khan examine how two distinct factions
together form the bigger picture for how organizations actually
work: the more defined ‚formal‘ organization of a company-the
management structure, performance metrics, and processes-and the
‚informal‘-the culture, social networks, and ad hoc communities
that spring up naturally and can accelerate or hinder how the
organization works. With dynamic examples from enterprises around
the world, this book takes a timeless organizational approach and
creates a powerful paradigm-shifting tool set for applying it.
* Includes self-assessment guidelines for senior leaders,
front-line managers, and individual contributors
* Features organizations in business, government, the nonprofit
sector, and academia-including the New York City schools system,
Aetna, the Marines, United Nations, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Home
Depot, Bell Canada, and the Houston Police Department
Leading Outside the Lines illustrates how leaders can
make the two distinct factions work together to get the best of
both.
