Title: The Working Leader
Author(s): Leonard R. Sayles
Publisher: The Free Press, 1993

In this book, the author seeks to demonstrate the limitations of the traditional “ideal manager” model inherited from the scientific management principles of the mass production era, and then proposes an alternative “action leader” model that would place managerial focus on maintaining cohesion and coordination within today’s complex organizational systems.
