THE PERFORMANCE TRIANGLE

The ultimate guide for agile organizations

"Lukas Michel, a leading management consultant, argues in his book that to win in an increasingly dynamic, ambiguous, and volatile environment, leadership teams in most industries must be agile – able to react flexibly to early signs and act on them quickly.

Michel argues that we need to build organizations that can cope with these challenges rather than embarking on disruptive change processes. To do this, leaders face the dilemma of empowering people without losing control."
