A radical new management model for twenty-first century leaders
Organizations today face a crisis. The crisis is of long standing and
its signs are widespread. 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. Denning puts forward 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.
