DESCRIPTION
"Intelligent
organizations have to be run by persuasion and by consent." - Charles Handy
Social philosopher Charles
Handy is widely regarded as the chief prophet of the modern workplace. Many of his
predictions have already come true, including the decline of the traditional organization
and job, and the emergence of the portfolio career.
In this fascinating volume
Robert Heller reveals the key ideas shaping Charles Handy's radical approach to business
management and presents a series of masterclasses showing how to apply his unique
insights. Explore Handy's views on seeing businesses as communities, the four gods of
organizational culture, challenging dogma, making groups work, living by the 'doughnut
principle', the benefits of a horizontal career and curing role stress.
