The Leader's Guide to Radical Management
Organizations today face a crisis. The crisis is of long standing and its signs are widespread.
Productivity is one-quarter of 1965 levels. Innovation continues to decline. Workers are
disgruntled. Customers are frustrated. Brands are unraveling. Executive turnover is accelerating.
In the last 25 years, startups created 40 million jobs in the US, while established firms created
almost none. Traditional management is broken.
Most proposals for improving management address one element of the crisis at
the expense of the others. The principles described by award-winning author
Stephen Denning simultaneously inspire high productivity, continuous innovation,
deep job satisfaction and client delight.
Radical management is a fundamentally different approach to management,
with seven inter-locking principles of continuous innovation: focusing
the entire organization on delighting clients; working in self-organizing
teams; operating in client-driven iterations; delivering value to clients with
each iteration; fostering radical transparency; nurturing continuous self-improvement
and communicating interactively. In sum, the principles comprise a new mental model of management.
