"Il n'y a rien de plus pratique qu'une bonne théorie", disait Kurt Lewin. Surtout quand cette théorie est le fait d'un praticien. Pendant plus de trente ans, Jacques Chaize s'est attaché avec succès à construire une entreprise agile, capable d'initier le changement plutôt que de le subir. Il s'est aussi attaché, à travers des livres et conférences, à formaliser, synthétiser, théoriser sans jargon ce qu'il fait et ce qui marche. Dans un langage clair, il nous livre ici la quintessence de ce qui dans l'action permet à une entreprise de prendre en main son développement.

Ce cours, inspiré par l'étude des capacités de leadership extraordinaires de Steve Jobs, s'appuie sur vingt-cinq ans de collaboration au sein et avec Apple. Il repose aussi sur l'approche intégrale, peu connue en France, mais qui inspire très largement les dirigeants de la Silicon Valley. Cette approche utilise des perspectives multiples, potentiellement contradictoires pour rendre compte de la réalité. Elle fournit un cadre très efficace pour penser le leadership individuel et collectif au sein d'une entreprise en définissant les cinq niveaux de leadership.

Si la confiance comme la gomme diminue après chaque erreur, elle n'en est pas moins le carburant du management de terrain. Sans trop s'attarder sur les évidences philosophiques qui affirment qu'il n'est de collectif qui vaille sans confiance, Hervé Sérieyx décortique avec une enviable précision et son habituel talent les chemins, pratiques, écueils, efforts, obstacles qui jalonnent le parcours de la confiance. Car cette confiance dont on fait tant de cas est aussi utile que peu spontanée.

"Comment obtenir que les gens fassent ce qu'ils doivent faire quand ils ne le font pas spontanément ?" C'est en ces termes pratiques presque prosaïques que Robert-Vincent Joule pose la si ancienne question du changement. "Je dis bien ce qu'ils doivent faire."

Comme on n'a jamais une seconde chance de faire une bonne première impression, la persuasion peut se jouer sur des points qui paraissent secondaires. Pourtant pour vendre, il faut convaincre à défaut de vaincre. Michaël Aguilar nous révèle ici - de façon persuasive d'ailleurs - les meilleures façons d'organiser son propos, de toucher l'esprit d'autrui, de présenter ses arguments. Bref de se donner les meilleures chances de convaincre. Indispensable et convaincant.
