Why do some organisations transform and thrive, while others fade into irrelevance?
What’s the secret that keeps some organisations focussed on their mission and values, while others decline?
Transforming Organizations demonstrates how 4Cs behaviours are critical to success in the 21st century.
From start-ups to global corporations, it’s the human behaviours of Communication, Collaboration, Creativity and Critical Reflection that are the key to future success.
In a world where current political climates and management cultures make risk aversion commonplace, Transforming Organizations shows how all organisations can transform to suit the needs of our rapidly evolving economic and social realities.
This book looks at how organisations and their leaders can adapt to an increasingly volatile and uncertain operating environment through the 4Cs: Creativity, Critical reflections, Communication and Collaboration.
Based on extensive research in the education, organisational and business sectors, the authors, A/Prof Michael Anderson and Dr Miranda Jefferson, show how the 4Cs can be embedded and enacted in many different types of organisations to make them more responsive to emerging challenges, threats and opportunities.
Transforming Organizations highlights clear links between leading and learning - because leadership is no longer (if it ever was) just a role for CEOs, CFOs and senior managers. For organisations to be flexible and agile in the 21st century, all employees must have the opportunity to exercise leadership. But this can only happen if deep learning is a standard feature of a leadership approach that actively and deliberately incorporates key 21st century skills - the 4Cs themselves.
There is a substantial gap between companies knowing what they should do to be flexible, creative and have clear channels of communication, and how to make that a reality.
Transforming Organizations provides the evidence, strategies and inspiration necessary for doing business differently.
