From the publisher of Fish! and the bestselling
author of Gung Ho! and Raving Fans -- a business parable that will transform
your workplace.
Kingdomality is a revolutionary, effective, and
entertaining way of managing people in any work environment.
Kingdomality will change the way you work --
forever. By pinpointing 12 types of employees -- and recognizing their strengths
and weaknesses -- Kingdomality offers practical business improvement tools to
help managers to flourish in kingdoms large and small.
Using a medieval kingdom as a parable for a
business environment, Kingdomality provides an engaging and useful tool for
analyzing and improving the workplace.
Here's an example of how this parable works:
King Harold runs the most disorganized, unproductive kingdom in the land. Tired
of not getting results, he turns to veteran management consultant Lady
Elizabeth, who guides him through the concept of Kingdomality. Following King
Harold, the reader will meet 12 medieval characters. Each character will have
likes and dislikes; environments where they flourish and where they falter. By
the end of the journey, King Harold knows exactly how to assign tasks to each of
his subjects and transform his floundering kingdom to a flourishing country. And
with the help of Kingdomality, any business manager will be able to do the same.
Lessons of the kingdom:
- The kingdom can't function properly unless
all points of view are present.
- Different issues are at different times best
served by different types of people.
- No one role is best suited to ruling the
kingdom. Anyone can take the lead.
Ways to determine the types of people you work
with in the kingdom, such as: Ask someone how much time they have to meet with
you about an upcoming project.
- Maintainers will offer "as much time as
needed."
- Explorers will want to know more before
answering.
- Challengers will give you "x" minutes.
