Book Description

February 6, 2001
"What if the rules that made you successful were the cause of your current problems?"

"What if the name of the game was personal fulfillment rather than power and wealth?"

"What if the biggest threat to your company's future was employee dissatisfaction?"

"What if success in the digital economy depended on refreshing your work environment?"

"What if you could eliminate friction between baby boomers and younger workers?"

"What if the answer was eLeadership?"

From one of the world's leading management consultants comes a dynamic new style of leadership that will enlighten and inspire executives to rethink and retool their companies for the eWorld.

Transforming today's overwhelmed corporate executive into an eLeader requires launching a revolution in the workplace. But the payoffs -- personal and professional -- can be extraordinary. With business practices changing on a daily basis, companies must create environments of speed and flexibility that will engage today's employees and allow radical ideas to thrive, because only those companies that move first and innovate fast will reap the financial rewards the digital economy has to offer.

In "eLeadership," author and consultant Susan Annunzio takes you beyond typical management-speak, offering a real blueprint for leading this revolution. Readers will learn to inspire, encourage, and retain staff at all levels. Annunzio teaches new ways to:


Create a twenty-first-century vision for your company
Promote environments that succeed in the eWorld
Think about what a company is and what it should look like
Ignite passion for saving America's traditional businesses

Through dozens ofreal-world examples of eLeadership in action, Annunzio shares the five critical steps to heroic leadership, and shows how to close the gap between the baby boomers and the younger Generations X and Y to create a more productive working environment.

As this timely book shows, the greatest opportunity to make a difference in corporate America today may be in attacking traditional priorities in unconventional ways.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Susan Annunzio's eLeadership is designed for savvy Old Economy managers who recognize that things like telecommuting and T-1 lines are in their futures, but who aren't exactly sure how to integrate such aspects of the techno-revolution into their organizations without sacrificing control and their current positions. Change-management specialist Annunzio says that established structures and cultures must first be transformed, and the key is a flexible but fast-paced leadership style rooted in a five-step process that "will show you how to attack your environmental problems, how to model and encourage the right behavior, and how to make your words and actions match--so you can speed up your organization, inspire your young, cynical, or dispirited employees, and move forward into the New Economy." The crux of her plan is the 20/60/20 Rule, which calls for using the top 20 percent of a workforce to influence the middle 60 percent and diminish the power of the bottom 20 percent. In detailing this and other principles (Ask the Unaskable, Speak the Unspeakable; Make Loud Statements; Communicate Irreverently; Celebrate Heroes), Annunzio incorporates real-life examples and practical checklists to help ease a transition that will fundamentally alter any business that employs them. --Howard Rothman

From Publishers Weekly

Annunzio, consultant with Nextera Enterprises, says that today's CEOs and managers must take a fresh approach to work, even if they're not actively involved in the Internet economy. With changes occurring almost continuously, executives need to recruit the best employees, encourage radical thinking and foster communication (especially among younger workers). Annunzio gives a rare and detailed treatment of the workplace relationship between generations X and Y. Enhanced by real-life examples, her points are sharpened by bulleted lists.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 rounds up to 5 stars, January 24, 2001

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: eLeadership : Proven Techniques for Creating an Environment of Speed and Flexibility in the Digital Economy (Hardcover)
I met Susan Annunzio on December 1 and since then her book has been on the fast-track to becoming required reading at e-GM. The only thing better than Susan's upfront approach in her book, is Susan Annunzio in person. The writing style is as conversational as having Susan over for coffee (although you may have to strap yourself in for the ride). The content hits home and resonates with those who get it and reaches out to those who really want to understand. If you already believe in the necessity of cultural transformation, the book will energize you. Indeed, prophets need encouragement. If you're in a leadership position and disappointed that your company's new culture hasn't come with the wave of your hand, Susan's book identifies the real work necessary to begin. OK, so the title is tired; tear off the cover as the first demonstration that you understand it takes more than wrapping paper to live and breathe real cultural change.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Be Misled by the "e", February 7, 2001
By 
Laurence J. Hall PhD (Deltaville, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: eLeadership : Proven Techniques for Creating an Environment of Speed and Flexibility in the Digital Economy (Hardcover)
This book is bigger than the "e" we've grown tired of..."e everything." This is a book about how to position your company for today and whatever the next wave of change might be, whether it is away from or back to the .com revolution. Annunizio is more than a writer or consultant, she is a zealot. It is clear in her writing that she has lived through the fear and thrill of making fundamental organizational changes, as an insider putting her job at risk and a consultant putting her fees at risk. What she offers us in this book is practical, common-sense, doable and, yet, scarey. The last quality is what makes it worth doing. If it were not scarey, it would be just another "change of the month." However, don't just pick one or two ideas from this book and then expect to transform your company. This is a comprehensive change program...one of the few we've ever been offerred in such detail and with such an easy to read and easy to follow format. I bet one of the other reviewers is right. If you bring Annunzio to your company, she will shake it at its' roots, not with the funny quips of Tom Peters, but with any one of the mind-bending questions that she poses in her chapters. I'm sending this book to all my burned-out colleagues.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a Dipper!, February 10, 2001
By 
This review is from: eLeadership : Proven Techniques for Creating an Environment of Speed and Flexibility in the Digital Economy (Hardcover)
I finished this lovely little book about 10 days ago. Is the book any good? Well, I have already been using some of what I found in there with my clients and my employees, both to good effect. That would be a yes! :)

One of the things I really like about the book is that it is a "dipper". I can browse through and stop at almost any page, dip in and pick up an illustrative real life story that reminds me of things I could do, suggests new things I might do or confirms things I am doing. This book is both a great reminder and an inspiring boot in the ***.
