Using behaviour analysis theory to demonstrate the use of proven psychological techniques to change people's behaviour at work, this book is a lively illustrative study for managers and students of organizational behaviour. By showing readers how best to identify undesirable behaviours, then measure them, analyze why they are occurring, and finally how to implement strategies to change them, this is a theoretically-based practical guide to true organizational behaviour patterns. It provides `real life' examples of how managers have used the techniques to change behaviour, examples which range from behavioural self-management to those aiming to change the behaviour of large groups of people. This is a unique study of a fascinating subject.

Beyond the Learning Organization will help executives, managers, and human resource professionals put the concepts of the "developmental organization" into practice.

What many people and organizations overlook, however, is the degree to which these new rules are requiring a fundamentally different style of leadership. In E-Leader, Robert Hargrove identifies the new mindset and skills that leaders must develop in order to thrive in a world where wealth is built on relationships and experiences, not products or even technology. The old model of leader as "steward", protecting the company's brands and assets, is being replaced by a model of leader as "entrepreneur", searching constantly for new sources of wealth creation; establishing creative ventures with suppliers, distributors, and even competitors; and discovering new ways to attract, retain, and nurture talent -- all at the speed of light. E-Leader captures the energy of the mavericks who are redefining leadership on the electronic frontier and shows managers in all types of organiza
