Reinventing Organizations - Acclaimed Book

BERNARDSVILLE, N.J. - Dec. 4, 2014 - PRLog -- “The most important and inspiring business book I’ve ever read…” -Tony Schwartz, Life@Work Columnist, New York Times DealBook

While modern organizations have brought about sensational progress for humanity, the current way we run our organizations seems to be stretched to its limits. For those longing for more soulful and purposeful ways to run our organizations, Frederic Laloux has written Reinventing Organizations: A Guide to Creating Organizations Inspired by the Next Stage of Human Consciousness (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ICS9VI4/). Based on extensive research, the book tells the story of the emergence of a new management paradigm – a completely new way to structure and operate organizations.

A former Associate Partner at McKinsey & Company, Laloux illustrates how every time humanity has shifted to a new stage of consciousness in the past, it has invented a whole new way to structure and run organizations, each time bringing extraordinary breakthroughs in collaboration. A new shift in consciousness is currently underway and corresponding changes in the way we work are emerging. Laloux has identified twelve pioneer organizations whose example can help us invent a radically more soulful and purposeful way to run our businesses, nonprofits, schools and hospitals.

The twelve organizations researched for this book have already "cracked the code." Their founders have already fundamentally questioned every aspect of management and come up with entirely new organizational methods. It is an exciting breakthrough to learn that the structures and practices they have developed are remarkably similar, even though they operate in very different industries and geographies and did not know of each other's experiments. A new organizational model seems to be emerging, and it promises a soulful revolution in the workplace.

"Reinventing Organizations" describes in practical detail how organizations large and small can operate in this new paradigm. Leaders, founders, coaches, and consultants will find this work a joyful handbook, full of insights, examples, and inspiring stories.
