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.

"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." -Journal of Management Consulting

"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 recommended for organizational executives, academics, and advanced students of management." -Choice
