Title : Liberty & Co. - When employee freedom makes companies happy - Brian M. Carney, Isaac Getz - book Summary : Our society has elevated freedom to one of its cardinal values, supposedly governing our political system as well as our private lives. Bosses are often the first to extol its virtues, making it a pillar of capitalism. But these fine words stop short at the corporate gates: in the workplace, hierarchy, control, and constant surveillance seem to remain the rule. However, the investigation by Brian M. Carney and Isaac Getz shows that there is another way of acting and invites us into companies where freedom has become the management principle. Employees are allowed to take initiatives instead of being told how to do things. They are treated as responsible adults instead of limiting the information available to them and having their every move controlled by a bloated hierarchy. Risk-taking is encouraged. Located in France, the United States, Japan, and Finland, these companies have been "liberated" by visionary leaders who have completely revolutionized their firm's culture. And at the same time, their profitability has exploded. We are at the dawn of a new era of management. EAN: 9782081290983 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo
