Excerpts

While the revolution in information technology is bringing us all closer together, globalization is challenging our language skills, and a new generation is reshaping our business strategy. Is business changing or is managing changing? Will the success of manufacturing industry depend upon their embracing IT? Will individuals target employers or will organizations target employers or will organizations target employees? These were some of the questions which inspired me to create Management 21C. The book you are reading reveals the collective thoughts and visions of some of the world's great minds. It is a truly global pioneering venture. From Australia to America, from France to the Netherlands, Britain to Canada, Sweden to Switzerland, the very best contemporary management thinkers are here at your fingertips. Management 21C brings together visions for the new millennium in one concise book, allowing you to understand the changes happening now and what changes you can expect. The future of business will be different: whose versions are you reading? With a detailed description of the global emergence and rise of new businesses and cultures, Management 21C will intrigue, provoke, encourage, and, above all, change the attitudes of everyone who reads it. Each chapter is unique and valuable. In chapter 1 I introduce new concepts including Return on Talent (ROT), Fire Prevention, and the Talent Management System. In the first part, discover the Janusian leader, the dualistic leader, the value-based Edu-leader, sensational leadersip, the power of collective genius, mastery, and mindset. Part two, "21C processes," describes the actions, skills, and strategies that leaders and managers will need to be able to compete in the future. In the final part, the customized workplace, the creative web, and kaleidoscope thinking inspire you to reconsider the 21C organization and help you prepare for it. Management 21C is for those who believe in creative war, for those who inspire other people, for those who believe in others and not just themselves, for those who celebrate diversity for those who constantly search for a dream, for those who want to reshape the world of tomorrow. Someday we'll all manage this way. Management 21C was created by inspiration. Its aim is to inspire others. Management 21C is the ultimate inspiration.
