Are these questions that trouble you or lurk in the back of your mind?

As organizational design “architects,” the • Christopher R. Clement show in this eye-opening book how to attack these challenges from a sound theoretical base that is both practical and realistic. The Clements propose such a method by describing five simple principles around which every company should organize. With vivid and powerful stories, they explain these principles and demonstrate how you can put them into action in your company. These principles are audacious in their very simplicity because they focus on the art and science of getting work done. And getting work done efficiently and effectively is why organizations exist.
