For over fifty years, Charles Handy has set the tone for leadership thinking. In this business classic, he lays out one of his most famous ideas: the four types of organisational culture, as exemplified by the Greek Gods.
Culture is central to a company's efficiency and success, whether it is shaped by a Zeus-like central power or the task-oriented focus of Athena, by Apollo's hierarchical assignment of roles or the person-centred preference of Dionysus. Successful leaders know their own styles, and cultivate these qualities to create dynamic, productive teams that are top of their field.
Charles Handy is a writer and broadcaster, following careers as an economist, professor at the London Business School (which he co-founded) and a consultant to a wide variety of organisations. He is widely regarded as the top 'business guru' in the UK, and has been rated as one of the most influential management thinkers by Thinkers50.
