the future of management - Gary Hamel

Gary Hamel - Future of management << quotes and preface

In The Future of Management, Gary Hamel argues that organizations need management innovation now more than ever. Why? The management paradigm of the last century—centered on control and efficiency—no longer suffices in a world where adaptability and creativity drive business success. To thrive in the future, companies must reinvent management.


"how do you build organizations that are as nimble as change itself"

 “Like the combustion engine, it's a technology that has largely stopped evolving, and that's not good.” What then does the future of management hold? Hamel timidly won't say. “My goal in writing this book was not to predict the future of management, but to help you invent it,” he wrote. Useful things to bear in mind, he suggested, are the need for companies to have purpose, to seek out ideas from the fringes, and to embrace the democratising power of the internet.
