Is your company run by a team with no name?
At the top of every organization chart lies a myth--that a
Senior Management Team makes a company's critical decisions. The
reality is that critical decisions are typically made by the boss
and a small group of confidants--a "team with no
name"--outside of formal processes. Meanwhile, other members
of the management team wonder why they weren't in the room or even
consulted ahead of time. The dysfunction that results from this gap
between myth and reality has led to years of unproductive team
building exercises. The problems, Frisch shows, are ones of process
and structure, not psychology.
In Who's in the Room? Bob Frisch provides a unique
perspective to this widely misunderstood issue. Flying in the face
of decades of organizational psychology, he argues that the
solution lies not in addressing behaviors, but in unseating the
senior management team as the epicenter of decision making. Using a
broad portfolio of teams--large and small, permanent and
temporary, formal and informal--great leaders match each
decision to the appropriate team in a fluid, flexible approach that
you won't find described in management textbooks.
Who's in the Room? is based on interviews with CEOs at
organizations ranging from MasterCard to Ticketmaster to The Red
Cross.
* Understand and embrace the way decision-making actually happens
in their organizations
* Use these "teams with no names" to best advantage
* Engage the Senior Management Team in the three critical tasks
for which it is ideally suited
Organizations will get better decisions and superior results by
unleashing the full potential of their Senior Management Teams. And
bosses will see a dramatic drop-off in people coming into their
offices asking, "Why wasn't I in the room?"
