The Global Organization Design Society is working to spread awareness and skilled use of the only science-based system for implementing strategy by establishing organizational structure, deploying staff and implementing managerial leadership practices. It was developed by Dr. Elliott Jaques and called Requisite Organization or Stratified Systems Theory.
Nancy R. Lee, President of Requisite Organization Associates, Inc., is one of the field's most experienced Requisite consultants. She was mentored over the years by Dr. Jaques, worked with him on projects, practiced Requisite Organization as he taught it, and benefited from Jaques's careful editing of the first edition of her book, The Practice of Managerial Leadership. Nancy has served on the Society board where she has championed professional development in the field, and generously shared her knowledge both by volunteering to lead conference training workshops and by sharing materials on the Society's website.
Nancy wants to share Requisite Organization practice as broadly as possible and is now offering a digital (pdf) version of her recent book, The Practice of Managerial Leadership - Second Edition without charge to those who complete this form and register for a free account on the Global Organization Design Society's website.
Her book describes Dr. Elliott Jaques' body of work called Requisite Organization in a linear, easy-to-read style. This book is written for managers, academics, students and practitioners who are interested in or involved in structuring, staffing and managing organizations.
This second edition contains extensive new material with chapters on Requisite Compensation and Requisite Talent Pool Development and is fully illustrated. Short readings on topics such as Comprehensive Organization Charts and Linking Tasks to the Corporate Goals are included as well as a chapter on Nancy's extensive experience in implementing RO over the past twenty-five years.
