Reviews / Votes
An intelligent, deeply thoughtful book that will walk you through the choices that will be critical to your people's future happiness and well-being, and by extension, to your organization's performance. * Rita McGrath * We are going through a period of extraordinary change and working practices will change profoundly. Lynda's book helps us think through the implications. * Lord Mervyn Davies, formed CEO and Chairman of Standard Chartered * Very much a how-to guide, with practical frameworks and examples. The message is clear: don't leave the future of work to chance * Financial Times * A remarkably thoughtful and practical guide to rethinking how work gets done. With Gratton's help, this journey can be far more systematic and rewarding than it would otherwise be. * Amy Edmondson, Harvard Professor * Lynda's book couldn't come at a better time as every CEO and their senior team grapple with the future of work. This book provides excellent advice as we attempt to build it! * Ann Cairns, Vice Chairman Mastercard * Very much a how-to guide, with practical frameworks and examples. The rigour and discipline Gratton brings to the book might surprise those who haven't been involved in organisational change. The message is clear: don't leave the future of work to chance * Financial Times *More details
