Leading the Revolution How to Thrive in Turbulent Times by Making Innovation a Way of Life

"The single best thing about LEADING THE REVOLUTION is its radical argument that work should be engaging, meaningful and passionately performed, and that the way to accomplish this is not by taking pride in some minute increase in efficiency but by coming up with radical innovation in other words, by being really, really creative....LEADING THE REVOLUTION offers a wealth of stories along the way about people and companies who managed to create the kinds of revolution the author is calling for. And although he gives too little credit to the people in white lab coats, he's basically right that a lot of wealth has been created by the Gap, General Electric, Starbucks, Walk-Mart and other companies whose earth-shaking innovations...did not require an engineering degree....Hamel's examples show that, when the planets are aligned right, it really is possible to bring about revolution inside a company.Hamel, Gary is the author of 'Leading the Revolution How to Thrive in Turbulent Times by Making Innovation a Way of Life', published 2002 under ISBN 9780452283244 and ISBN 0452283248.
