Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In The Leadership Engine, Noel Tichy showed how great companies strive to create leaders at all levels of the organization, and how those leaders actively develop future generations of leaders. In this new book, he takes the theme further, showing how great companies and their leaders develop their business knowledge into "teachable points of view," spend a great portion of their time giving their learnings to others, sharing best practices, and how they in turn learn and receive business ideas/knowledge from the employees they are teaching.

Calling this exchange a virtuous teaching cycle, Professor Tichy shows how business builders from Jack Welch at GE to Joe Liemandt at Trilogy create organizations that foster this knowledge exchange and how their efforts result in smarter, more agile companies, and winning results. Some of these ideas were showcased in Tichy's recent Harvard Business Review article entitled, "No Ordinary Boot Camp."

Using examples from GE, Ford, Dell, Southwest Airlines and many others, Tichy presents and analyzes these principles in action and shows how managers can begin to transform their own businesses into teaching organizations and, consequently, better-performing companies.

Synopsis:

Cites the examples set by such business leaders as GE's Jack Welch and Trilogy's Joe Liemandt to demonstrate how companies and their leaders can impart business knowledge through "teachable points of view" and in turn learn from the employees they are teaching.

Synopsis:

Using examples from GE, Ford, Dell, Tricon, and other companies, the bestselling author of "The Leadership Engine" show how great companies and their leaders develop their business knowledge into "teachable points of view, " and how they in turn learn from the employees they are teaching.
