Synopsis
There is a search in process for a new context and paradigm for the organization of the future-an organization that must be capable of producing high-quality, competitive products that satisfy customers without destroying the planet or degrading human life. The End of Management and the Rise of Organizational Democracy calls for a radical set of organizational development initiatives that will combat the destructive forces of globalization, put an end to authoritarian, paternalistic management, and move organizations toward a new "organizational democracy." Kenneth Cloke and Joan Goldsmith detail the practical opportunities, alternatives, and models for these new organizations and challenge leaders to transform their workplace environment into one shaped by a context of values, ethics, and integrity. They reveal how a combination of collaboration, self-management, and organizational democracy can break down long-standing boundaries and foster the far-reaching, sustainable changes critical to success in the twenty-first century., There is a search in process for a new context and paradigm for the organization of the future-an organization that must be capable of producing high-quality, competitive products that satisfy customers without destroying the planet or degrading human life.

"A challenging and provocative treatise on how to humanize the workplace. At a time when we are all searching for leadership and striving to find a road map which will help us open our minds, our hearts, and our courage in all areas of our lives, along comes this book to show us the way." - Majorie Randolph "A book that is bristling with wisdom and practical advice. There is not a stale or tired thought on any page. In short, the authors have produced a very important book, one that promises to change the entire foundation of what we have wrongly taken as management." - Ian I. Mitroff, Harold Quinton Distinguished Professor of Business Policy, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California "The potential today for beneficial business and process change is enormous. But such changes will only happen if the practice of management changes. This book provides a road map for the leadership journey ahead." - Jim Champy, Chairman, Perot Systems Consulting "Goldsmith and Cloke have been inside enough organizations to know how dysfunctional most of them are. Here's a prescription for radical change-creating organizations that work better and that serve people better than anything we have now." - John Case, author of Open-Book Management, There is a search in process for a new context and paradigm for the organization of the future-an organization that must be capable of producing high-quality, competitive products that satisfy customers without destroying the planet or degrading human life.
