Management/Leadership Conflicts of Leadership Good for People or Good for Business? Bengt Karlöf Karlöf Consulting, Stockholm, Sweden "How do you go about reorganizing staff when all the employees are related to the Chief Executive?" Thankfully this is not an everyday occurrence; but it is a perfect example to show the delicacy of the balance between two conflicting interests. Judge your response against these opposites. value productivity operative leadership strategic leadership continual improvement breakthrough improvement fact judgement natural growth imposed growth centralization decentralization market economy planned economy administrative culture entrepreneurial culture thought action The pressure on people to become leaders is as great now as it has ever been. Some people have the knack of keeping everyone happy; others favour a relentless focus on the bottom line. Conflicts of Leadership will not show you the key to successful leadership; but you will see its complexity and discover new dimensions. And it is as complicated as it seems. What is important is to recognize this, to approach the conflicts with humility, and to possess the energy and will to improve.

From the Publisher

This book looks at the problems faced by a manager, both from the operative aspect of a company and the needs of human management. The author considers organizational activity from various angles, such as productivity, quality, time frame, strategy, and the organisation as a whole. This volume reduces the many-faceted reality of leadership to a manageable number of parameters that can be described, exemplified, and analysed.
