Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
[Editor's Note: The following is a combined review with TEACHING THE ELEPHANT TO DANCE.]--In these companion audiobooks, Belasco offers practical solutions to managing change and empowering employees in any organization. His authoritative yet personal tone is stimulating and encouraging. Using animal analogies such as shackled elephants and loyal-to-the-leader buffaloes to represent outmoded management styles, these audiobooks are paced like the gazelle Belasco refers to as the leadership style most likely to succeed. Quick and ever-changing, the gazelle doesn't wait for trouble, it springs to action. Belasco's performance is rapid but well-paced, offering many questions for leaders to ponder and tried-and-true strategies that help organizations succeed. Focusing on and living the vision is clearly demonstrated in these lively audiobooks.

Product Description
In Flight of the Buffalo, James Belasco and Ralph C. Stayer combine expertise, insight, and passion to show how the nature of management must change if a company expects to survive in the white-knuckle world of modern business. Going beyond the quick-fix approach of many of today's business gurus, the authors explain how to avoid being outmaneuvered by the competition; how to become more focused and flexible; how to empower workers and maintain their loyalty; and how to become a manager who goes beyond filling quotas.
