Description

How to work and manage others successfully in matrix organisations operating across regions and functions, with global teams, customers and supply chains.

Traditional management training prioritises clarity, predictability, and control. In a matrix, we need to balance this with the ability to tolerate ambiguity, manage uncertainty, and decentralise control. Managers require an expanded toolkit to help them transition from the hard to the soft, from the concrete to the ambiguous, and back again, depending on the situation. Making the Matrix Work helps you develop your matrix mindset and shows you how to establish and engage networks that do not rely on role, control, or authority to get things done.

This 10-year anniversary edition has been extensively revised to cover Agile and digital working, tailored for those working and managing in the fast-paced new world of work, featuring autonomous teams, iterative working, and non-hierarchical leadership.

It includes new material on alignment and connecting across silos, and on autonomous teams, as well as three major new chapters on:

Change and Stability
Hierarchy
Networks

There are updates to terms and techniques throughout the book to reflect hybrid and post-pandemic working considerations and the impact of digital transformation.
