Product Description

Tom Peters

‘His lucid, exciting, shocking descriptions...thrust us one giant step closer to understanding the new, “upside-down” competitive realities.’


Product Description

If you put a frog in water and slowly heat it, the frog will eventually let itself be boiled to death. We, too, will not survive unless we actively respond to the radical way our world is changing. "Here is an inspiring vision of an era of new discoveries, new enlightenment and new freedoms" - Association of Business Executives. "It succinctly points out that change cannot be avoided and explains how we can turn it to our advantage. Invaluable to all those who wish to succeed and prosper" - "Industrial Magazine".

4.0 out of 5 stars A far-sighted book about the work ethic of the future, 5 Nov 1999
By alma@cinergy.co.gg (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling book about the future of work and organisations, 2 Dec 1998
By A Customer
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great inspiration for the self-employed, 30 Dec 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Age of Unreason, The (Paperback)
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!
