Top executives frequently involve themselves in time-intensive operational decisions. In reality, concentrating on core management issues would be more important for them. Drawing on the concept of self-monitoring companies, the authors explain how business leaders can achieve such focus and optimally accomplish important management tasks. Developed by the Neuwaldegg consulting group, this concept allows executives to professionalize their management functions and devote more time to making key decisions. The book provides numerous concrete tools for this purpose. An additional chapter shows how the self-monitoring organizational model can be applied successfully during the economic crisis.
