Beskrivelse

Are you ready to move your business from chaos to control?Many businesses operate in a state of chaos - people running around, working hard, just to achieve a mediocre level of performance. When crisis situations arise we are often lucky enough to have a 'super hero' work for us that can help us to get out of our impending disaster.We celebrate these people for their ability to pull us out of the sticky stuff... but what if we accepted that this is a problem in disguise?What if our heroes could put away their capes, re-direct their efforts and help transform the fortunes (and sanity) of the business?What if we only wore our capes when the business was facing a genuine issue, and not one that we have created through our own mismanagement?This might be a tough pill to swallow and facing up to our weaknesses isn't for everyone...

A step by step solutionThere is a way out of this situation, and we can kindly retire our superheroes so that a more effective and more efficient way of working can come through. Our days don't have to be 'full pelt' trying to stay still, we can think our way out of this situation and Losing the Cape shares a range of strategies to help you do this in your business.The ideas contained in this book are based on practical, real world, business transformation projects. They don't apply to just one type of business - the ideas are universal, so whether you work in a government department, a professional services business, or a manufacturer, these ideas can work for your business.

A practical management approachThere is no magic in this book, only practical management ideas that have been proven out in the real world. The author, Giles Johnston, works with businesses of all different sizes, in all different sectors, that are trying to achieve the same basic objectives.
