Publisher's Synopsis
Can one book change the world? Veteran business consultant Leander Jackie Grogan believes it can ... has already. But what is the change? It's the reassertion of the human spirit over doom-and-gloom analytics; Leveraging the power of people over numbers ... that is the change. From the Death of Management: Restoring Value to the U.S. Economy by J. Buffington to the Wall Street Journal's Essential Guide To Management by Alan Murray, the ominous warning has hounded executives for over a decade. The system is broken. After years of driving companies into the ground, the old drill sergeant, command-style, top-down management structure is dead. The new crop of Generation X and Millennial small business owners are clamoring for a new model that values human capital, places people over short-term paper shell profits and facilitates genuine growth. But what will this model look like? Three decades have passed since a selfish breed of "instant-profit" Machiavellian Wall Street maniacs opted to adopt policies that dehumanized employees and made job instability a primary tool to enhance productivity. Except for GE, Southwest Airlines, FedEx and a few astute visionary companies, GenX owners, seeking viable examples of long-term teambuilding, have nowhere to turn. In response to the crisis, What's Wrong With Your Small Business Team has shaken up the status quo with the Anthead Syndrome, a groundbreaking system that stretches the traditional entrepreneur into a nimble sky-walker with an array of leadership styles and expansive knowledge of managing ambiguities, personal preferences and case by case scenarios that inspire team members to excel as partners rather than fearful prey. The new system is not for the faint of heart. The road will be bumpy. But in the end, the payoff is huge. Buckle up for a wild ride.
