Features: This book is about work and personal life, not about politics, war, and the nation, but the inspiration is the same, and the changes are equally dramatic. When the book went to press, the whole world was worried about a recession, partly because our organizations had become too expensive, too complex, and cumbersome. Like the centrally planned economies of the former communist world, these centrally planned organizations are discovering (too late) that the old ways that worked well in the past are no longer cost-effective.
