Despite a century of effort by untold numbers of people to deconstruct leadership - to understand it and identify better ways to lead and manage people - it has had little effect to narrow the range of acceptable leadership methods in organizations. Why is there so little transmittal of leadership thinking and practice of the type that engages and energizes people compared to that which neglects and discourages people? To state it simplistically, why is "command-and-control" still so popular among leaders, whether in good times or bad? What have we been missing? A Changed Perspective challenges the settled view that better leadership is brought about simply by changing leaders' behaviors. It explores three important things: First, the role of preconception in guiding leaders' thinking and actions. Second, how difficult situations arise and why difficult situations are accepted by leaders as a fait accompli. Third, how can difficult situations be made less common and less difficult to reduce human stress and frustration and enable greater human flourishing on a resource constrained planet. Readers will enjoy the insightful analysis and come away with a changed perspective to lead better than they ever have before.

The book presents a culmination of thirty years of exploration into progressive and classical management theories, emphasizing leadership insights. It features five critical essays, a polemic, and a research paper, each offering innovative perspectives and challenging existing paradigms. Readers will find valuable knowledge that remains relevant for future management practices, with particular attention to misconceptions in management thought, including a critique of Deming's contributions.

Does it still make sense today to talk about strategy? Or does today's liquid, interconnected, and global world only require the ability to adapt and seize opportunities from wherever they come? If strategy is to remain a useful concept and practice in business, then there needs to be a reexamination of the intent of strategy and the process by which strategy is typically developed.Wheel of Fortune is not the usual book about business strategy. It presents new and provocative relationships between strategy, leadership, and business. In addition to examining the social science of strategy, it introduces new methods for analyzing strategy failures and preventing strategy failures. It exposes risks inherent to strategy that leaders do not recognize and challenges their understanding of strategy and its role in customer satisfaction and business success.Wheel of Fortune establishes the rationale and need for leaders to think differently about strategy and execution. It provides deep insights on how to eliminate the repetitive problems that most organizations experience, and convincingly demonstrates the need for leaders to be more imaginative and creative in strategy development and execution.
