About this title

From the Publisher:

The decline of control and command demands that leaders master new skills.

In today's team-based, continuous-change-and-improvement organizations, you need to know how to work with and through others in new ways -- ways that not only save time and balance the workload, but also bring together the organization's best wisdom and know-how to affect successful change.

Whether you are a middle or upper manager, front line supervisor or occasional group leader, you can -- and, to be truly effective, you must --learn to lead through collaboration, not coersion. You must be able to establish powerful, effective working relationships with people at all levels.

Because these crucial new skills are seldom taught in the classroom or on the job, Berrett-Koehler, series editor Perry Pascarella, and a distinguished team of management professionals have created The Collaborative Leader series. Each of the six concise, jargon-free, and action-oriented handbooks breaks down an essential component of participative leadership, teaching the skills individuals must master and providing ready-to-use tools for effective collaboration.

Each booklet offers practical wisdom on a key component of leadership in today's business environment: *

Earning Trust *

Asserting Yourself Appropriately *

Mastering Your Priorities *

Collaborating for Success *

Involving Others in Problem Solving *

Unleashing the Power of Shared Dreams

Each of these booklets is approximately 32 pages, and sells for only $6.95 each-or you can order the complete set of six for only $37.50, a savings of over 10% off the single copy price.
