Praise for the first edition:'Both the framework and the book make
notable contributions to both theory and practice. The book will be
of value to scholars and organization leaders in understanding the
concepts of value creation and organizational effectiveness. It
will be an aid to consultants in conceptualizing strategies for
organizations and in counselling leaders on how to operationalize
the concepts in their organizations.'
--S.R. Mohnot, Global Business Review'This is a very readable and
excellently presented volume. It will interest anyone concerned
with organizational effectiveness and the competing values
model.'
--Economic Outlook and Business Review'I recommend this book to
anyone wishing to understand and practice leadership. Leadership is
often treated in mutually-exclusive categories, such as Theory X
vs. Theory Y, managers vs. leaders, transactional vs.
transformative, initiation vs. consideration, etc. The Competing
Values Framework presented in this book transcends these dualities.
It features eight competing but complementary values that are
critical for managing today's complex and pluralistic
organizations. The framework emphasizes the need for balance among
the eight leadership roles, and an appreciation of the context,
timing, and contingencies when the leadership roles facilitate and
inhibit collective endeavors. I have followed the development and
testing of the Competing Values Framework over the years. It makes
important contributions to both theory and practice. It stimulates
positive learning outcomes for students and managers.'
