Open book management: a new approach to leadership Available to Purchase

Dr Bruce Lloyd, Principal Lecturer in Strategy at South Bank University in discussion with John Case, Editor at large of the well respected US based entrepreneurial journal, Inc. and author of Open‐Book Management: The Coming Business Revolution and The Open‐Book Management Experience: Lessons from over 100 Companies that Have Transformed Themselves byNicholas Brealey (1998). John Case argues that, today, everyone needs to feel that they are partners in the business and not just hired hands ‐ or brains. To achieve this objective requires an emphasis on sharing information at all levels and this involves reinventing (or re‐discovering) the role for management that is driven by values and the need for more effective learning at all levels.
