Building on an idea
first brought up in the May issue of NewsLeader, we are now launching a
cross-cultural management product. Its goal is to help you understand the
pitfalls arising from applying in Brazil foreign managerial styles and incentive
structures. The product, entirely customizable, is targeted both on expatriate
managers and their local subordinates. It should also prove useful to Brazilian
heads of regional teams. Ask for more information.
This October issue of
Newsleader brings you two interrelated articles
on Leadership.
The Feature Article
suggests that there is not one leadership fit to all organizations. Rather,
organizations evolve and successively require different styles of leadership.
Occasionally one leader may evolve with the organization, but it is unlikely.
The
Management Insights article draws on the practical issues of life: there is a
market for business leaders. Yet we know from the Feature Article that
while you may need off-the-shelf leaders somewhat readily, the do have a
'best-by' date, like many groceries do. The fact is that your organization may
have outlived the usefulness of many off-the-shelf leaders and you will have to
choose in a more rarified world. So, why not grow you own
leader?
You
may grow your own leaders if you wish and in Management Insights you may learn
what works and what does not.
In this October issue the illustrations bring political resonance rather
than artistic enlightenment. The choice of the illustrations is simple enough.
If one wishes to illustrate Latin American leaders one must chose political
ones, for the business ones are not recognizable across the region. That in
itself is worth an article is it not?
