Renaissance Management ]^ not a book about history: it is a book about today and the future. Don't look here for the past.
The Renaissance was a time to question and challenge. It was about the release of energy and learning, and the rise of the individual. In this book, Stephen Carter describes how these forces are still relevant today in redefining the relationship between individual and organization. He outlines how organizations rich in experimentation, creativity and flexibility can be created by challenging traditional assumptions concerning the nature of organizations and the relationships they have with their employees. He criticizes the notion of fixed roles and proposes a more holistic, flexible approach to working practice and organizational structure - one which allows companies and individuals to thrive.
This book offers a refreshingly original insight into how companies can prepare for the challenges of the new millennium. If you are a business leader, manager, or anyone wishing to contribute to the success of an organization, then the new Renaissance is relevant to you and this book is essential reading.
