Format:Paperback
I found this amazingly farsighted, it would be of great interest to anybody involved in how work is evolving and the futures of individuals and their place in the work market. It gives plenty of food for thought on how not just employees but employers should view the work market in the years to come. Would be of interest to anybody involved in education, careers guidance, personnel and management, especially management!

A book that is probably chronically under-read because it is categorised as a management book. It writes compellingly about the nature of work, the nature of the individual, and the nature of organisations to come. The main premise of it is that change is a constant, evolutionary process, and the individual and the organisation must be open to this, in order to not be left behind. Several theories such as The Inverted Doughnut and the Personal Re-framing are introduced to illustrate Charles Handy's theory, and are very accessible. My first 'management' book!

When considering the jump to independent consulting, this book inspired me to leave the comfort (and confinement) of corporate life.
Handy makes it clear how the business and social trends of today are affecting each of us personally and professionally.
Anytime someone asks me for career advice, I recommend this book!
