The Best Businesses Don't Have Bosses

AURORA, Colo., Aug. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- How do you lead when you have no practical authority over many geographically dispersed employees in fast-changing markets? How do you successfully manage increasing business complexity when the rules of the game keep changing? This book provides answers to the difficult challenges of managing complex change by showing business leaders how they can use the new rules of mass collaboration to make the leap to extraordinary performance. Drawing upon his successful experience as the former chief operating executive of a $19 billion business alliance, Rod Collins shares the leadership secrets for managing at the speed of change. "Leadership in a Wiki World: Leveraging Collective Knowledge to Make the Leap to Extraordinary Performance" is a practical guide to the principles and practices of the proven management solution for leaders who understand that managing great change is only possible if we change how we manage.

This book explains how the digital revolution is ending the world of work as we know it. The smartest and fastest companies are no longer hierarchies amplifying the voices of their bosses; they are now networks leveraging the collective wisdom of everyone within their organizations. These bellwether businesses and their leaders have discovered the most important secret for sustaining success in the fast-changing digital world: nobody is smarter than everybody, provided you have the processes to tap into their collective knowledge.

Each chapter contains numerous examples of how companies can use their collective knowledge to immediately improve business results. The book also outlines the powerful lessons from business leaders who have stopped being bosses and learned how to gain access to the rich reservoir of their collective knowledge.
