Envisioning a transformative shift in organizational structures, this book presents a model for designing future workplaces based on extensive research. It argues that traditional "command and control" management is becoming obsolete, giving way to a more adaptable "coordinate and cultivate" approach. This evolution will lead to decentralized organizations that combine the benefits of scale with the agility and human values of smaller firms. Additionally, it highlights the essential skills managers will need in this new environment where decision-making is distributed among all employees.
