Opis: The Challenger Spirit - Claire Breeze, Khurshed Dehnugara

Challenger organisations are those companies which are disrupting their market and taking serious market share from their more established competitors. Such companies typically have an ambition beyond the conventional resources available to them. They are innovative and radical, and most enjoy significant and sustained periods of growth. This book analyses the practices and disciplines that underpin the successful challenger organisation. In particular, it looks at the leadership skills and the organisational culture required for companies to become challengers in their marketplace. Written by one of the few consultants who specialises in and works with such companies, this book will challenge conventional business thinking to the core. A stimulating and concise read for business leaders who want to build a culture that challenges the status quo. --Director magazine A wealth of advice on leading through the noise and successfully challenging the status quo. --European CEO magazine Uncomfortable and inspiring are the words Mark Martin, HRD at Royal Bank of Scotland Insurance, uses to describe this book and it is no wonder... Although the challenges are stark, the style of writing is warm and often funny. --HR MagazineFOREWORD ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PREFACE 1.0 CHALLENGER SPIRIT 1.1 The Challenger Conversation Beyond Brands 1.2 How Challenger Organisations Were Initially Defined 1.3 Research Approach 1.4 Expanding The Definition Of Challenger 1.5 Developing A New Conversation 2.0 WITNESSING THE ESTABLISHMENT 2.1 An Addiction to Stability and Safety 2.2 The 4 As.
