Representaion Supposing Books Flight of the Buffalo: Soaring to Excellence, Learning to Let Employees Lead

I read this one at roughly the same time as Pflaeging's ORGANIZE FOR COMPLEXITY, and it wasn't long before I got an eerie "separated at birth" notion. Those who think this agile decentralized stuff is all new might want to dip into FLIGHT OF THE BUFFALO, now 25 years old. The central theme: that you get better leadership by helping your people grow into a flock of self-organizing geese than you do by being the lead buffalo who does everything (and thereby becomes the indispensable bottleneck to everything in the organization). An easy, though somewhat long read, it teaches a series of lessons about why and how a good leader will let go, and how to challenge your employees to succeed by delivering great performance for customers.

Great book on management. Learn to look at yourself as being the problem, then look to your team for the solutions. They will usually come up with more extensive goals than you can. Remember the customer knows what he needs, all you need to do is ask and you will have the answers.

Of the different books I have read about how businesses operate, this is one of the best I have read. I tend to believe that CEO's are overvalued in the US perception of a companies success and that businesses are only as good as their employees. As a consequence, this is a good book for a guy like me to read.

Reading this as part of a leader mentoring program through my current company.Back in college we would yell "Buffalo!" when we would catch one of our drinking buddies not following the made up steps of our ritual drinking game. They would then be forced to chug the balance of their beer right on the spot while we made jokes at their expense.Wouldn't it be great if we could do the same thing when we caught one of our co-workers "waiting for the lead buffalo" to make a decision or light the way.

What a wild concept. Treat your employees like they have brains in their heads. Let them work together to solve problems. Wow. Some managers understand this, and when they do, a lot more work gets done.

Good book on organizational structures. Good business reading.

I realized right away when reading this book that as a manager I've been working harder not smarter. This book walks you through years of leadership/management experience where the author illustrates how to "teach men to fish" by empowering employees and transferring ownership for success. Using the Metaphor of how a Buffalo (managerial capitalism) lead by Command, Control, Hierarchy, One Leader, One Voice, VERSUS the teamwork metaphor of GEESE (intellectual capitalism) in flight Transferring
