Although this book is nearly a decade old, written about the American experience and for an American audience, the ideas and concepts are applicable to anywhere is the world where middle management is being squeezed out due the changes taking place in the workplace. As we move from an industrial society to an informational society and from a workforce that needs to be managed and controlled to a workforce that is managing and applying knowledge, the need for traditional middle managers is rapidly dissappearing. What is needed are creative and innovative leaders and free-agents who can spearhead and lead fellow colleagues to add value to create a profit for stakeholders.This needs a completely new vision, mindset and approach to work. This book provides some interesting ideas and concepts if you think deep as you read the chapters.
