Publisher's Summary:
You're in a matrix, whether you realize it or not. The test: Do you have multiple bosses? Do you depend on a variety of resources throughout the organization to get your tasks done, and do these resources report into other people or teams? If you answered ''yes'' to either, you're in a matrix role.
Matrix roles are everywhere. The field customer contact person who writes contracts, negotiates delivery and troubleshoots product issues is in a matrix role. So is the product manager simultaneously accountable for numbers in her country, region and business unit despite the fact they are in conflict, or the HR person who reports both to a globalized function and the head of the business they support.
Master the Matrix: 7 Essentials for Getting Things Done in Complex Organizations is based on the experiences and ideas of over 100 matrix practitioners, combined into seven matrix essentials:
These seven essentials can push you past matrix management and toward matrix mastery.

Great content and speaker
I recently had the opportunity to see the author, Susan Finerty, present her materials from this book live at a seminar. Not only is she a content expert, but she has examples and anecdotes to make the book really come alive â simply magical. Master the Matrix is a brilliant, practical and useful business book. Susan breaks down the âessentialsâ of successfully navigating a matrix organization in a format that is simple and fun to read. With a series of building blocks and frameworks, the author provides both a way to think about the issues and reinforcement tools to assist with retention. During the seminar, I had the chance to see an advance copy of her materials for her new companion book âThe Cross-Functional Influence Playbookâ. Like the title sounds, the âplaybookâ has pragmatic, actionable exercises to help you get the right things done. This pair of books will be a great desktop reference for everyone.
Enthusiastic thumbs up
Most of us work in a matrix environment without the benefit of the skills and mindsets we need to be successful. Finerty does a beautiful job of articulating the "how to's" through her own voice and experience as well as those voices of others she's interviewed. She's concise and provides clear and compelling rationales for her recommendations. This book provides an outstanding foundation for everyone grappling with the challenges of working on cross functional teams and on projects that require accountability to others to whom they don't directly report. I've underlined more in this book than I can remember doing in quite some time. Can't wait to put the learning into practice. Thanks Susan Finerty!
