Description
Summary:"Have you ever wondered why a so-called "best management practice" produces mediocre results? What if a team wanted to do something truly spectacular? What if it wanted to make a real impact?" "Stunning accomplishments never come from following the management cookbook, no matter how much care and discipline we use in sticking to the recipe. If you want to work wonders, you've got to abandon the accepted, linear, day-by-day management mindset and step into the real world. It's anything but mechanical." "Spiral Up encourages you to think backwards, or more accurately, upside down. Based on a study of more than forty incredibly successful initiatives, the book shows not how to lay a project out step-by-step, but how to let it develop a life of its own."--Jacket
