English Summary/英文概要： Less staff and more work. Fewer resources and more complex challenges. A crisis of ethics and one of confidence. Success in business today demands more than a tough, no-nonsense management style or enthusiastic, inspirational cheerleading. Both sound management andinspired leadership are critical.
With detailed profiles of some of the most notable figures in politics, business, sports, and entertainment, When Opposites Dance identifies four natural styles of managing and leading--the rationalist, politicist, humanist, and culturist and highlights the awareness required of manager-leaders to balance successfully the rational and the spiritual, and embrace the seemingly opposing forces of precision and passion. From logical rationalists to caring humanists--Richard Nixon and Betty Friedan; from zealous politicists to intuitive culturists--Hillary Clinton and Herb Kelleher--each example illustrates the individual’s struggles and successes and offers valuable lessons for forging a path to balance and harmony and shaping a better workplace for all.
Bringing together two of the most popular methods for understanding management and leadership, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® instrument and Terry Deal and Lee Bolman’s Cognitive Frames-- When Opposites Dance encourages you to step back and take stock of your strengths and weaknesses.
