Capable Executive: Effective Performance in Senior Management (1996)

Despite the impact senior managers can have on organisations, surprisingly little is known about what makes them effective.

This distinctive book is structured around the findings of the authors' eight year research programme into senior executive effectiveness.

In all eleven Capabilities have been identified which cover how executives cope personally with their role, how they lead and influence others and build competitive organisations.

Each Capability is used as a starting point to review the latest management thinking and practice as it applies to senior executives.
