Re-energizing the Corporation: How Leaders Make Change Happen

By Jonas Ridderstråle & Mark Wilcox
Published by Wiley, March 08

Some business books ask why. Others tell you how. Re-energizing The Corporation, by Jonas Ridderstråle, co-author of the international bestseller Funky Business, & Mark Wilcox explains why you must lead change and how to do it. The authors have teamed up to provide their own potent blueprint for re-energizing any organisation.

In the book, Jonas Ridderstråle, one of the world’s most influential business gurus, provides a vibrant and energizing take on the world of today and tomorrow. Mark Wilcox, backed by 25 years of frontline business experience in some of the world’s best known corporations, offers a uniquely practical approach to turning ideas into to action and making change a reality. Together, they blend ideas, cases, models and practical examples into a framework that enables the reader to master the art of making positive change happen.

The first time Jonas and Mark worked with a group of executives, more than 200 projects resulted, over 250 million euros were saved and made, as managers began to take responsibility for their own challenges. Now, Re-energizing The Corporation builds on the 3e leadership model, which makes sense of the three Es of Envisioning, Engaging and Executing. By understanding and following the model, readers will be able to create compelling pictures of the future of their organisations; build a following of individuals committed to turning the vision into reality; and maximise team performance to deliver on their dreams.
