The book takes you through some of the social and intellectual challenges that managers encounter everyday, the most prominent being pulled by competing demands and having to play many roles simultaneously. This book uses the Competing Values Framework, a comprehensive map on which competing demands can be located and placed in context.

Learning models such as, mini-lectures, individual presentations, group simulations, small group and full class discussion activities, to expand knowledge of management and real organizations. A hands-on approach. An assessment, learning, analysis, practice, and application approach with each competency. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - This is a good book to waste your time.

Many of them are too much of one thing or not enough of another. After taking a Competing Values Management Practices Survey, then reading this book, and taking the survey again, you can see on the "spider-web graph" where in the circle you fit it to these eight values that include the Mentor Role, Innovator Role, Broker Role, Producer Role, ...
