Do some managers really lack social competence, as it is often said? How important are inter personal relationships in an organization? Can social competence make up for missing knowledge, professionalism and expertise? Are some managers unprepared for the future?
Dr. Katja Unkel answers all these questions and investigates the call for social competence. She also imparts numerous insights regarding aspects of social competence that remain neglected and explains which management approach has proved most effective in practice over the years.
The 21st. Century is characterized by exponential and ever-increasing complexity in all areas. This impacts the daily work of managers and creates management challenges. It is important to master complexity and to steadily strengthen the performance of an organization. It is vital to ensure that coworkers are at one with their manager. Managers need to empower their teams to get involved, to use their knowledge and to organize themselves more than ever.
Dr. Katja Unkel explains in a clear, practical and concise way what is needed for effective and robust cooperation and team work, and what style of management is required to make it work, both in good and challenging times.
