He is world-famous for his innovative ideas on the relationship between organizations and individuals, as well as the future of work. Together with another management guru, Peter F.

In 2001, the Financial Times (Financial Times) ranked the top ten management gurus, and Handy was selected as the second. This book was written for a BBC program, aiming to introduce the various concepts shaping the current trends in management leadership to managers and students of management worldwide.
