Overview

The Latest and Best Thinking on the Future of Leadership, Organization, Change, and Innovation

"This is a treasure-trove of some of the best thinking today on leadership, management, and strategy."
—Journal of Management Consulting

"The Organization of the Future is required reading.... If you don't use this book to help guide your organization through the changes, you may well be left behind."
—Nonprofit World

What do employees expect from the organizations they support? How can organizations maintain stability in times of massive change? These are the questions modern organizations face as they struggle to grow and evolve. The Organization of the Future offers timeless responses from such leading authorities as Peter F. Drucker, C.K. Prahalad, Nathaniel Branden, Lewis E. Platt, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Jay R. Galbraith, and Deepak Sethi. Their incisive essays reveal:

- How to build "know-how" and "know-who" to develop successful teams
- How to prepare for "breakdowns" and create the nimble, change-adept company
- How to attract, motivate, and retain the best employees
- How seven basic policies can lead to high performance and high self-esteem
- How to support work-life balance and provide flexibility for knowledge workers

Each essay provides observations that will help leaders in business, nonprofits, and government keep their organizations healthy, competitive, and poised for the future.

This much anticipated second title in the Drucker Foundation Future series imagines tomorrow's workplace. In 28 new essays, by bestselling authors, Fortune 500 CEOs, and management scholars expound on the challenges people face in building the organization of tomorrow. 256 pp. National ads. Media publicity. Online promo. 30,000 print.

Editorial Reviews

Choice
Editors Hesselbein, Goldsmith, and Beckhard have brought together the latest views of noted experts about the future of human enterprise in the Peter Drucker context of government, business, and community.... This volume is highly recommAnded for organizational executives, academics, and advanced students of management.
Journal of Management Consulting
A book to visit occasionally for something new to stretch our understanding, to think about, and to integrate into our work.... This is a treasure-trove of some of the best thinking today on leadership, management, and strategy. If we use it as a self-paced seminar on how to advise, create, and lead the organizations of our future, we will be better equipped by far than most of our competitors.

Nonprofit World
The Organization of the Future is required reading.... If you don't use this book to help guide your organization through the changes, you may well be left behind.
Personnel Psychology
If you're interested in what tomorrow's organizations will look like and what challenges our business leaders will face, this book is a must read. Anyone seeking a glimpse of the future will find this collection informative and thought-provoking.
Professional Manager
The book is forward looking without being futuristic. The contributions rarely exceed a dozen pages and are written by some of the best-known management writers of recent years. The total content has been assembled with a great deal of thought. The continuity runs through each section.
Strategy
It is a well presented volume, full of insights... It provides a sound basic understanding of, and introduction to, the nature of the challenges facing both our organisations and society as a whole as we move further into the new 21st century.
Publishers Weekly
The 49 contributors to this collection-an eclectic mix of executives, academics, management experts and consultants-offer highly accessible, often conversationally written essays intended as thought-provoking goads to action or change in today's business environment. The emphasis is on creating flexible organizational structures that can respond effectively to global competition, information technology, innovation and customers' changing habits. Harvard Business School professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter explores the difficulties of motivating people to work in the downsized, high-pressure corporation. Futurist Joel Barker examines the Mondragon Cooperative, a complex of more than 100 worker-owned enterprises in Spain's Basque Provinces, as a model of entrepreneurship, job creation and worker democracy. James Champy, guru of company reengineering, argues that the larger the scale of a program for change, the more likely it is to succeed. Avoiding platitudes, these wide-ranging essays provide a wealth of innovative thinking on leadership and management strategy. Hesselbein is president of the Drucker Foundation for Nonprofit Management; Goldsmith runs a San Diego corporate consulting firm; organizational consultant Beckhard is a former management professor at MIT. (Feb.)
Library Journal
In this second in a series sponsored by the Drucker Foundation (The Leader of the Future, Jossey-Bass, 1996), 48 distinguished managers, academics, and writers have contributed highly readable articles on modernizing organizational structures and hierarchies. A unifying theme is that the way managers have divided up work and assigned tasks and resources in organizations must be examined through the lens of customer satisfaction and employee empowerment. Of the many excellent contributions, some that stand out include Joel A. Barker's description of the Mondragon Cooperative in Spain as an example of workplace democracy; Rosabeth Moss Kanter's exhortation to managers to place employees at the heart of any organization design; and Jeffery Pfeffer's review of how America's managers organized in the past. The somewhat academic tone should not prevent the book from being read by those at the helm of today's organizations. Strongly recommended.-Andrea C. Dragon, Coll. of St. Elizabeth, Convent Station, N.J.
