Abstract:
"This eighth book in the University of Michigan Business School Management Series provides a step-by-step guide for turning any organization into a company of leaders. Gretchen M. Spreitzer and Robert E. Quinn draw on ten years of empirical research to show how to transform a workforce and create a very real competitive advantage. They describe five key disciplines that help empower employees to take initiative, be more innovative, engage in transformational change, and act as leaders. Throughout the book, the authors provide real-life organizational examples that illustrate the disciplines of empowerment and present specific tools, techniques, and strategies that will help you put those disciplines to work in your own organization."--Jacket.
