The Work Revolution (ePub)

Embrace connectivity, increase empowerment, and achieve better
work-life blending

We live in a new age of global companies, hyper-access to
information, and accessibility to tools that enable us to bring any
idea life. Strangely, our workplaces are lagging behind the promise
of this open and collaborative world. Most organizations are
rule-based, top-down, dreary environments optimized for conformity
and little else. The Work Revolution creates a compelling
portrait of a different kind of work.

"I believe that freedom in the workplace is worth fighting
for and that every person and every organization can be
excellent."

Julie Clow articulates the rules we follow today in our work force,
the reasons they no longer work, and what we can do instead. The
Work Revolution deconstructs the magic behind thriving,
liberated organizations (such as Google) into clear principles that
any individual, leader, and organization can adopt to create
sustainable and engaging lives.

* Provides actionable changes anyone can make, regardless of
where they work, to create a more sustainable work-life blend

* Details concrete ways to influence existing organizations to
change

* Guides leaders to make tangible changes in their teams to
enable greater autonomy and impact

* Outlines organizational culture principles that support and
nurture high-performance and healthy environments, providing clear
options for instituting cultural change based on specific
organizational challenges

Rejecting productivity Band-Aids and quick fixes, The
Work Revolution conceptualizes a completely new workplace
that embraces the always-connected reality to create organizations
in which high achievers can sustainably thrive.
