A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Charles Handy s four gods symbolise the different styles of management to be found in businesses and organisations today. Zeus is a dynamic entrepreneur who makes snap decisions. Apollo is the god of order who defines staff through their job description and not personality. Athena is the goddess who recognises expertise and creates a task culture. Dionysus creates a culture where staff owe little allegiance to a manager. Each god represents different values and creates a differing culture. To be successful a leader, or manager, needs to be aware of the culture within their organisation and to be able to work to its strengths to create a productive and satisfying workplace.This is the essential handbook for understanding management styles, an essential analysis of the changing patterns of business.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is a sparkling and witty allegory of the four types of organisation. The club culture, ruled over by Zeus; the role culture, whose patron saint is Apollo; the task culture, owing allegiance to Athena; and the existential culture, whose people come under the orbit of Dionysus. It is required reading for everybody who wants to be survivor in a world of changing organisational culture. (1994-10-10)
