Daniel H. Pink Livres

Hard hitting and focused in its attack, this warning shot of a book stands out with its message that those companies that refuse to change their basic, long-held operating strategies will not survive in the rapidly changing world of work. The business hierarchy that seeks to monitor and control workers'' methods and outputs is outmoded, the text claims, and must be changed even at the risk of hurting those who have always benefited from hierarchical the executives and managers. The book further argues that current managing techniques stifle the ability of people and organizations to grow. With innovation and creativity thus inhibited, the days of a company that will not change are numbered. There is a solution, however, and the chapters offer ways to keep talented employees, to serve shareholders, and to base his or her business practices in growth rather than mere efficiency and control. Further, a case study is described, putting a real-life spin on the theories and choices explained within the pages. This timely shakedown of corporate structure strongly makes the case that only the companies that are willing to reenvision themselves now will have a place in tomorrow''s business landscape.
