Product Description

Review
"Gerry Egan′s focus on the shadow side of any organization––the informal, implicit beliefs and practices that really distinguish one organization from anotheris a valuable insight for anyone who is serious about fundamental change." ––Liam Strong, CEO, Sears, PLC

"This comprehensive work puts in perspective the tremAndous economic benefit that managers can add to their organizations by not only recognizing the effect of the shadow side, but managing it well. Egan addresses these subjects in a clear, comprehensive, and common–sense manner." ––William D. Ford, president, Amoco Oil Company

Product Description
Offers managers, consultants, and employees alike a practical starter kit that reveals how to identify, manage, and gain value from the below–the surface activities in an organization. Drawing on his worldwide consulting, teaching, and research experience, Gerard Egan shows how to create opportunity and competitive advantage by learning how to manage shadow–side realities. He identifies five interactive categories of behavior that affect both productivity and quality of work life in today′s organizations––covert culture, the idiosyncrasies of individuals, the interactions of the organization′s social system, institutional politics, and the hidden organization––and details specific skills and strategies for mining economic value from each one.

Harness the covert aspects of your organization –– covert culture, individual idiosyncrasies, institutional politics –– for competitive advantage. World–renown consultant, teacher and researcher Gerard Egan identifies five shadow side work behaviors, and details specifics for mining the economic value of each.
