Why a leader in a professional service company should read this book.
Executives
in professional service companies -- marketing communications,
accounting, insurance, architectural and law firms -- need
proof that there is a better way to organize their businesses
than by the traditional top-down pyramid approach. They need
new ways of working to compete in a world that demands quality,
on-time and on-budget -- with integrated elements. They need
ways to inspire and share power with their associates. Leaders
need time to think, to do and to rest. Joe Phelps shows proof
that the best way for that to happen is by giving self-directed
teams the authority to make important decisions.
