It is a new era. To win in an increasingly dynamic and volatile environment, leadership teams must be agile - they must be flexible enough to react to early signs and act on them quickly. An agile company needs good decision-making at all levels - from the centre to the periphery, tapping into the full potential of the people, operating model, information technology and leadership practices. And decisions are made by people. This guide forces you to re-examine the assumptions underlying your leadership and how agility within your company can be built through a three-point, people-centric approach. The author's insights will help you understand your options, make the choices required to successfully coach your team, and start creating agility as a competitive advantage today.

The time has come for better management. But better management is not merely about adding new labels to the current ways of doing things; it is much broader than efficiency and alignment. In this book, Lukas Michel offers senior executives and managers tools to understand a new way of discussing and thinking about management and work, which requires us to take on a broader perspective of the company and its culture. It's every manager's prime job to manage better: to change the way they lead people and how they organise work in the new (post-pandemic) business context. The book discusses the role of the operating system to do that and clarifies managerial priorities and goals. This then sets the stage for Diagnostic Mentoring - the methodology that enables the transformation of the way we manage.

This book argues that people-centric leadership is essential to succeed in the new dynamic business context. It offers four agile levers for leaders to unlock the full potential of people and turn valuable business opportunities into value for society. The challenge for leaders is to balance the tensions between the changing business context and the needs of people to apply their potential. People are at the centre of attention in this book. To unlock the full talent of people and succeed in a dynamic context, people need a work environment which differs from traditional organizations. It's an organization with tools, capabilities, and a culture designed for people. It caters to the individual. Organizations that want to deliver superior outcomes in a dynamic environment require agility - agile tools, agile capabilities - and a culture with a shared mindset that enables people to serve customers.
Transition of Organizations

Evidence suggests that only about 10% of start-ups and 30% of entrepreneurs make it beyond 5 years. Methods for control and leadership in the start-up or early growth stages are wildly different from those needed to successfully manage a complex organization consisting of multiple departments, divisions, product lines, or geographic spread. To succeed, business leaders should be aware of which stage their organization is in, the characteristics of the current stage, and the characteristics of the next stage. This book explores various common patterns of management styles and then offers transition strategies to help managers to succeed in the digital economy. The authors guide leaders to prepare for these transitions by laying the foundations or infrastructure needed to prevent a crisis that inhibits further growth. They also provide leaders with a greater understanding of the growth framework, which will help leaders to manage better the development of their companies.
