Problems it helps with
- We want a shared map of what 'new ways of working' even means
- I can't afford the book for everyone but need a common reading
- Our mission statement is empty words and nobody acts on it
- We keep information at the top and wonder why people don't take ownership
What it covers
- Profit to purpose and values; hierarchical pyramid to network of teams
- Directive to supportive leadership; plan-and-predict to experiment-and-adapt
- Rules and control to freedom and trust; secrecy to radical transparency
- Concrete practices and named case companies for each trend
