Like the dandelion, bureaucracy is a deep-rooted malady that pollinates easily and is tough to kill. In this witty, yet dead-serious book, Craig Cantoni sends out an urgent warning to businesses: bureaucracy may fester at the very heart of your organization. And although it might seem nothing more than a benign background, in fact, bureaucracy is a penetrating poison that chokes productivity, innovation, and competitiveness. With intriguing vignettes and case studies, Corporate Dandelions peers down the corporate corridors of some of the worst offenders - and shows the destruction that bureaucracy (and bureaucrats) can perpetrate. The good news is that you can stop bureaucracy's pernicious spread - if you know what to look for. Corporate Dandelions explains that red tape, foot-thick policy manuals, and endless paperwork are merely the outward symptoms of much deeper problems. You know you're in trouble, says Cantoni, whenever your company exhibits any of these danger signs: unnecessary activities that add no value to the enterprise; conditions of cautiousness, conservatism, and entitlement; loss of contact with customers and with the employees at the "bottom" of the organization who serve them; and an unquenchable thirst for perks, power, and politics at the highest levels of the organization. Specifically, Corporate Dandelions shows how to recognize and conquer the "11 Iron Laws of Bureaucracy." It aids companies of all sizes in weeding out the true enemy - the bureaucratic state of mind. Moreover, this pathbreaking book will help you create an environment where bureaucracy simply can't flourish, by providing the specific tools to help keep it in check. Following Craig Cantoni's bold yet sensible guidelines will yield a crop of positive changes, including the renewed ability to build risk-taking and creativity; hire, promote, and compensate workers for their productivity and ideas, rather than their tenure; realize the full value of empowerment and team building; cut white-collar overhead (equivalent to 26% of sales in the U.S., versus 21% in Western Europe and 18% in Japan); and reduce cost and waste at all levels. Corporate Dandelions demonstrates that bureaucracy need not be part of the business landscape. Use this book to root it out for good - and to clear the way for corporate growth that flourishes and bears fruit.

Download and read online ebook An Uncivil Approach to Civil Society write by Matthew Schaaf. This book was released on 2009. An Uncivil Approach to Civil Society available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "In his first year in office, President Dmitry Medvedev has done little to reverse the Russian government's deliberate weakening of key institutions of a pluralistic democratic society, which marked the presidency of Vladimir Putin. One key aspect of this growing authoritarianism has been increasing, excessive government scrutiny and control of nongovernmental organizations, mainly through the 2006 law regulating NGOs. This report describes how the law and current rules allow the state to interfere arbitrarily in NGOs, by conducting intrusive audits, imposing onerous reporting requirements, and impeding NGO registration on non-substantive, insignificant grounds. It documents how the law allows the Ministry of Justice to take disproportionate, punitive measures in response to minor administrative violations by NGOs. The report also describes how the deeply negative operating climate for NGOs is exacerbated by new restrictions on grants and subsidized office space, and a growing number of physical attacks and hostile statements directed at NGOs and activists. President Medvedev in April 2009 acknowledged the difficulties faced by NGOs, including restrictions 'without sufficient justification,' occasioning some optimism that Medvedev will break with restrictive policies instituted under Putin. Soon thereafter, Medvedev initiated a limited process for reforming the troublesome law; initial reforms will affect only a fraction of NGOs and are limited in scope. Human Rights Watch calls on the Russian government to expand the reform to all organizations, and end and desist from further arbitrary limitations on the work of independent civil society groups."--P. [4] of cover.
