Edition DescriptionNew Edition
SynopsisRevised and expanded- this classic guide to business leadership presents "an original and profound new view on how to run an organization" ( Library Journal ). Despite all the evidence calling for change, most organizations still rely on patriarchy and control as their core form of governance. The result is that they stifle initiative and spirit and alienate people from their work. In Stewardship ,Peter Block calls for a dramatic shift in how we distribute power, privilege, and the control of money. "Stewardship," he writes, "is the willingness to be accountable for the well-being of the larger organization by operating in service, rather than in control, of those around us." Block has revised and updated the book throughout, including a new introduction addressing what has changed-and what hasn't-in the twenty years since the book was published. It also includes a new chapter on applying stewardship to the common good of the wider community. Speaking in practical terms about how stewardship transforms every function and department for the better, Block also offers tactical advice on gearing up to implement these reforms., NEW EDITION, REVISED AND UPDATED Celebrating its 20th anniversary in print, this is the first new edition of a classic bestseller - one of the most provocative and influential books ever written on leadership, business, and organization design., One of the most provocative and revolutionary books written on leadership, business, and organizational design, Stewardship remains just as relevant, even twenty years later, to transforming our organizations for the common good of the wider community. We still face the challenge of fostering ownership and accountability throughout our organizations. Despite all the evidence calling for profound change, most organizations still rely on patriarchy and control as their core form of governance. The result is that they stifle initiative and spirit and alienate people from the work they do. This in the face of an increasing need to find ways to be responsive to customers and the wider community. Peter Block insists that what is required is a dramatic shift in how we distribute power, privilege, and the control of money. "Stewardship," he writes, "means giving people at the bottom and the boundaries of the organization choice over how to serve a customer, a citizen, a community. It is the willingness to be accountable for the well-being of the larger organization by operating in service, rather than in control, of those around us." Block has revised and updated the book throughout, including a new introduction addressing what has changed--and what hasn't--in the twenty years since the book was published and a new chapter on applying stewardship to the common good of the wider community. He covers both the theory of stewardship (in particular how it ameliorates the shortcomings of traditional leadership) and the practice (how it transforms every function and department for the better). And he offers tactical advice as well on gearing up to implement these reforms., Revised and expanded: this classic guide to business leadership presents "an original and profound new view on how to run an organization" ( Library Journal ).
