"Grass Roots" Management
How to grow initiative and responsibility in all your people
By Guy Browning and published by Prentice Hall
It might not appeal to the 'purists' but using the narrative of a business based on a garden open to the public the author gives a very simple, accessible and readable account of 'self-managed teams'.
Tips like:
- Start the change by fixing things that dont work
- Give your supervisors as much power as they can handle
- Give people the budget to go with the responsibility
Self-management is a key foundation of bioteams and bioteamming.
Refreshingly, Guy is not a consultant but a columnist with the Guardian, Management Today and People Management.
At just £8-99 and available at airport bookstores - well worth the money!
