"Successful leadership of large organizations is best achieved by measuring and managing alignment between the corporate strategy and its execution. CEOs need a proven model to allow them to delegate and decentralize. The management focus must be shifted from structured control to guided interaction.". "Managing by strategic pull and operational push achieves this shift. To do so requires a permanent (often real-time) corporate dialogue between the CEO and key executives. The authors of Beyond Control have learned from experience that for this to work consistently over time, a dedicated communication infrastructure is needed. This executive dialogue centre is an Internet-based portal specifically designed as a virtual CEO office to manage the interaction between the CEO and his or her key people."--BOOK JACKET.
