Great Work (Part 2): Designing Organizations for Great Work

This is the second of a three part series called GREAT WORK: 12 Principles for Your Work Life and Life's Work. (The whole set is available on Lulu as a paperback.) Question all your assumptions about organizations. In this e-book, Darcy Hitchcock challenges common myths about business (eg, profits and shareholders are paramount, bosses tell people what to do). Instead she lays out a tested framework for more ethical, humane, and productive workplaces. This ebook includes principles 3-8 (out of the 12). Did you know that businesses don't have to hold their shareholder's needs above all others? That some workplaces have no traditional bosses? That some organizations are structured to return much of the profit to the workers? Let this open your eyes to the opportunities for a more equitable, inspiring and innovative workplace that is designed for GREAT WORK. Audience: Entrepreneurs, senior management, MBA students, social enterprises.
