Constant change is a way of life in business today. In fact, to stay competitive today, you not only have to pay attention to what you are doing now to perform better, but also to what you have to do tomorrow to stay competitive in the future. In other words, you have to simultaneously manage the present and plan the future.
It's always been hard to do different things well at the same time. How can you do a good job of managing the present when you're worried about the future? How can you effectively scan the horizon of the future when you're concerned about the present?
Ken Blanchard's fans will not be surprised to learn that the answers have to do with people and relationships. In Mission Possible, Blanchard and Waghorn offer answers that will bring hope, help, and practical strategies to managers at every level of the organization.
"Makes the seemingly impossible job of simultaneously managing the present and creating the future possible."
~ Charles R. Lee, chairman and CEO, GTE Corporation
