Summary:

"Amplifiers is a modern application of and interplay of leadership and followership. Many corporate strategies and transformation efforts either fail to deliver on their promise, or outright fail. This is due to the human element of those exemplary followers, or true amplifiers. The work will also explore the career journey of several leaders through their formative years as followers, while juxtaposing both successes and failures of leadership. There has been little new work or ideas on "change management" in the business world over the past decade. This book will expand on old ideas but more importantly introduce an entirely new way to think about human behavior in the execution of corporate transformations. I. Introduction II. Leadership and Followership III. True Amplifiers IV. Amplifiers in Action Cell concept Interaction Skills V. Amplifier Experience Differences by Ethnicity and Gender VI. Amplifying Corporate Strategy Amplifying Change Management Amplifying Across the Globe IX. Amplifying Work and Life."-- Provided by publisher.
