New Book Shows Managers How to Become Participative Leaders

(Doylestown, PA ) -- Today's business environment is vastly different from what it was just 10 years ago. According to Organizational Consultant Suzanne W. Zoglio, Ph.D., the author of a new book on leadership, a customer-focused empowered workforce is now driving the most competitive organizations. Because customers are demanding better quality, better service, better value, and faster delivery, companies must have world-class quality just to stay in the game.

In her new book, "The Participative Leader" (Irwin Professional Publishing; July, 1994; $10; distributed by Tower Hill Press), Dr. Zoglio shows supervisors and managers how to create a work environment that encourages employee commitment, innovation, and cooperation.

"The old authoritarian leadership style doesn't work in today's environment of fierce competition," says Dr. Zoglio. "Businesses have learned how fickle customers can be. Instead of telling employees what to do and letting the customer take whatever was offered, successful companies now focus on being the best in the world."

"The Participative Leader" is one of the most user-friendly books of its kind on employee empowerment. It offers insightful advice on:

  • tapping the full potential of your workforce
  • transferring day-to-day problem solving to the front line
  • reducing organizational bureaucracy
  • making the transition to a participative leadership style
  • increasing employee motivation
  • delegating effectively
  • facilitating teamwork


In her new book, Dr. Zoglio examines the elements of participative leadership and provides the tools managers need to keep pace with the competition. "The Participative Leader" gives practical strategies, assessments, and checklists all designed to help leaders achieve new goals and orchestrate high performance.

"The Participative Leader" (ISBN 0-7863-0252-6) is available in bookstores or through Tower Hill Press at 215-345-1338. Dr. Zoglio is a nationally recognized consultant, author and lecturer who assists clients such as American Express, Hewlett-Packard, and SmithKline Beeham with team building, planning and training. Founder of the Institute for Planning & Development in Doylestown, PA, she has also written "Teams at Work: 7 Keys to Success" ($19.95), "Leader's Guide for Teams at Work" ($89.95), and "50 Activities for Teams at Work" ($39.95).
