Présentation de l'éditeur :

This is a breakthrough leadership book that refreshingly tells the truth and offers actionable strategies for facing today's challenges. Dr. Smith argues that, while good ideas, good products, good procedures and strong intentions are important, they are not enough. Rather, he sees that organizations and projects with the most available "Energy In Focus" prevail. In this radical departure from approaches based on manipulating work flows, material and human resources, Dr. Smith has defined the necessary courage and focus required for leaders to generate and sustain project breakthrough and transformation over time -- to become Navigators From the Future. In this small, to-the-point book, Norman Augustine says that Charlie brings us "pragmatic [yet] altogether uncommon, common sense." Craig Baker says: "the Navigator principles work with powerful effect in business and personal relationships." Charlie points to what people most deeply care about, and inspires leaders to the transformation which unites us all and leads to a brighter future. Associated training and consultation services are available, as well as an internet-based project assessment tool which can be previewed at: www.MerlinNavigator.com.
