What's that Super Model doing in my workplace?: Making light work of the burden created by old school thinking in the new free world of business.

by Halinka Panzera

Overview

In What's that Super Model doing in My Workplace?, author Halinka Panzera explains why now given Globalisation and faltering economies we need to seek leaders with different characteristics.

Social and economic change means that business behaviour needs to adapt. A profit-only, homogeneous male-dominated, institutionalised, single-minded approach to business will no longer secure business success in the future. We are already seeing decline in corporate performance among companies that are adhering to older models. A more broad-minded, balanced outlook that incorporates wider societal characteristics and priorities is needed. An organisation needs to develop a wide range of solutions to any given problem. Says Halinka Panzera, "When organisations try to replicate the type of leadership they have had in the past, they don't maximise their problem solving. This 'dinosaur' style has had its day".

The Super Model has been created by research insights and provides a new approach for problem solving for CEO's, HR, Management, and new Leaders. Corporate evolution is possible, with insightful, evolving and confident people leading the way and willing to embrace change by contributing diverse thoughts, ideas and perspectives. This book shows you how.

About the Author

Creator of the Super series, Halinka Panzera BBus (Mktg), BA (Psych), MBA is an author, marketer, researcher, speaker, facilitator, lecturer, mother, wife and creator of TheKey2 business model.
Her education gave her the first taste of authority and power. As a corporate woman she was used to power. The problem was not one of powerlessness, the problem was as a woman she was not allowed to be as powerful as she could have been without taking on the persona of a man. Feminism does not address this conflict adequately from a corporate perspective. There has yet to be a book that addresses power, which is a useful resource for corporate women. "What's that supermodel doing in my workplace?" addresses this gap.

Halinka is deeply involved in society values, combining her understanding of psychology, sociology and politics, with passions for the environment, art, culture and society. It is this dedication to observation, learning and understanding the key role of organisations in creating societal change that underpins Halinka's market research company. It is the same drive that motivates her to write on a number of topics including social equity, human rights, health and nutrition, society, the environment and sustainably principles. She also regularly contributes as a corporate speaker and panel member on a range of topics.

Corporate social responsibility will not translate into anything real under the current corporate framework and it is finding ways to change this that drives Halinka in her daily life.
