Description
In their book, Minds at Work, management authorities David Grebow and Stephen J. Gill share what happens when managers empower and inspire people to seek out learning at a moment's notice. They capture this turning point as managers transition from a "command and control" position to become advocates of communication and collaboration. To motivate a modern workforce, managers must encourage uninhibited, freeform learning, and nurture communities of learning, practice, and cooperation that allow people to come together and produce meaningful work. Minds at Work features success stories from forward-looking companies that have redefined norms, made knowledge sharing flat, and created a workplace culture built to last.
