Releasing employees’ full potential and instilling a responsibility-oriented culture remains the best way to compete in a “do more with less” business climate. In this new edition of one of the most effective business fables ever written, coauthors Blanchard, Carlos and Randolph illustrate three simple (although not easy-to-achieve) keys that organizations can use to effectively tap into the knowledge, experience, and motivation power that people already have:
- Share information with everyone
- Create autonomy through boundaries
- Replace the old hierarchy with self-managed teams
