Answer the questions that arise when managers and workersneed to adjust to unfamiliar leadership roles and rules in flattenedorganizational forms. Leading When You’reNot the Boss provides a conceptual framework that you can apply whenassessing your own organizations and work. The book discusses the underlyingideas necessary for a shift from a culture of hierarchies to one ofrelationships and the establishment of intrapreneurial and holistic workenvironments.
This book supports the trend in many corporations towardflattening parts of their traditional top–down hierarchical management systemsinto more egalitarian, democratized, and distributed organizational forms. Itanalyzes the weaknesses of "management" culture at a time of evermore rapid change and complexity in the business world and illustrates howflattened organizational units increase agility, innovation, and efficacy.Moreover, it discusses how individuals can exercise effective leadershipdespite lacking the command-and-control authority of conventional bosses andways for organizations to cultivate effective "post-management"cultures.Especially in the technology sector, large projects havebecome too complex to be mastered by any single leader. Drawing on hisexperience as a senior manager and executive consultant for a number of FortuneGlobal 500 companies, Roger Strathausen analyzes the situations and benefitsthat motivate companies to adopt flattened organizational forms. He shows thatempowering a multi-talented group to manage itself by horizontal cooperationcan deliver products with more speed, efficiency, innovation, and nimblenessthan a solo boss could, while yielding higher employee productivity andretention rates.
With an entertaining mix of real-world examples and anepisodic HBR-style fictitious case study, the author illustrates throughout thebook how his leadership lessons can be serviceable only when intelligentlytailored to the dynamic complexities of specific situations, including thepersonalities and competencies of the people involved.What You''ll Learn

“Humanization and the Law” combines two current and complementary trends in the business-to-business (B2B) market of the legal industry: digitalization and humanization.
On the one hand, digital transformation in corporate legal departments and law firms continues to advance. Contract management, e-discovery, due diligence, legal operations, and forensic data analysis are just a few examples of task areas where the use of intelligent software solutions minimizes legal risks and increases compliance, enables efficiency gains and cost reductions through automation, and allows faster and more agile responses to changing market demands and client expectations.
On the other hand, the increasing number of failed digitalization projects shows that technology alone is not enough to successfully transform legal departments and law firms. Software solutions must be integrated into existing work processes, be easy to use, and provide real benefits in order to be accepted by employees. People and their ability to make decisions and lead others remain the focus in an increasingly digitalized legal industry.
More than 20 authors provide insights into why human aspects matter for business, what organizations can do to increase the mental well-being and motivation of their employees, and how to prevail in the upcoming war for talent in the legal industry.
“The legal industry has been largely dismissive of “soft skills” and “humanizing law.” One of the paradoxes of our time is that the ascendency of automation, artificial intelligence, blockchain, Big Data, and other technological platforms has elevated, not diminished, the importance of humanity. It is not only what distinguishes us from machines but it also enables us to apply our humanity to machines. The legal function will play an important role in this process but must first take a hard look at itself.”
(Mark A. Cohen, in “Foreword”)

Wissen ist ein zentrales Element unternehmerischen Handelns. Nur, wer den Markt kennt und weiß, welche Probleme Kunden haben und wie diese sich mit neuen Produkten und Services lösen lassen, kann erfolgreich agieren.
Dieses Buch untersucht die Auswirkungen der Digitalisierung auf die Rolle des Wissens in der Rechtsbranche. In Rechtsabteilungen und Kanzleien wandelt sich Wissen zunehmend von einem statischen Vorrats-Wissen zu einem dynamischen Ad-Hoc-Wissen, das durch den Einsatz von Software-Anwendungen bedarfsgerecht erzeugt wird und dem Erreichen eines bestimmten Zwecks dient. Dabei ist immer der jeweilige Geschäftskontext entscheidend für die Einsicht, was wie zu tun ist.
Für Anwälte und alle, die an juristischen Transaktionen in Unternehmen beteiligt sind, bedeutet dies nicht nur, dass sie die allgemeinen Chancen und Risiken der digitalen Transformation kennen müssen. Sie müssen auch verstehen, wie sie neue Technologien dafür nutzen können, ihre eigene Kreativität zu stärken, informierte Entscheidungen zu treffen und im Team kooperativ zu einem gemeinsamen Ziel zu gelangen.
