Stellar Management Teams

Management teams at all levels are often disengaged and disconnected from the management function, leading to a lack of common goals and influence. The authors argue that this is due to an era of guru leadership that must end if management teams are to rise to the top. What is needed now are resilient trendsetters who will bring about a new era of top-performing teams that together form a collective guru, known as a Stellar Management Team. The book takes the reader on a metaphorical journey to the stars, symbolizing top-level interaction and collaboration.

Management teams at all levels, and individual team members in particular, often find themselves disengaged and disconnected from the very essence of the management function itself. Statements such as, "We lack common goals or they are unclear," "I have no influence," "I am not listened to nor taken into account," and "I do not feel valued – actually, nobody does," are commonplace. The authors argue that this state of affairs is a result of our entrenched engagement in an era of guru leadership, which must come to an end if our management teams are to rise to the top.

An individual, no matter how talented, cannot possibly control the intricate system of an organization, with its countless variables, especially in conjunction with the rapid change in both the economy and market forces, which are unpredictable and uncontrollable. No matter how skilled the individual, no one person is in a position to manage this complex system alone – not even a guru leader.

The authors contend that what is needed now are resilient trendsetters who will bring about a new era of top-performing teams that together form a collective guru, which they refer to as a Stellar Management Team.

In this book, the reader embarks on a metaphorical journey to the stars, which symbolizes top-level interaction and collaboration. The journey is the development from an ordinary management team into a Stellar Management Team, which elevates its operation up to a new level of performance and success.
