- Summary:
- "The Guru Guide is for businesspeople who need to keep abreast of the latest trends in management, but who simply don't have the time to read every book that hits the business bestseller list. Written by authors who are themselves internationally respected business authors and consultants, it provides you with concise yet penetrating discussions of the best of today's thinking on management and leadership. A quick, easy way to improve your business literacy, The Guru Guide distills and demystifies essential terms, concepts, and theories of today's top consultants and management thinkers; profiles more than 75 top names in management, including Warren Bennis, Stephen Covey, Peter Drucker, Michael Hammer, Peter Senge, and Margaret Wheatley; explores the categories of leadership, managing change, the learning organization, teamwork, strategy, managing and motivating people, and more; cross-links important ideas to provide a clearer picture of which issues the gurus agree on and which ones they don't; provides insightful commentaries along with real-world case studies; and arms you with quick-reference charts, bulleted lists, chapter-end summaries, and other creative, quick-learning tools."--Jacket.
