Alive
By Paul Lambert
Organizations, like people, need to be seen as living, evolving organisms resulting in different ways of structuring and leading companies. This is based on a living model of organization orientated around a clear Purpose expressed through physical, emotional and cognitive characteristics – reflecting the people who make up our companies.
“At a time of hugely increasing pressure on organisations to ‘perform’ a timely reminder that the traditional mechanistic view still pervades our current management thinking. Alive presents an optimistic and hopeful alternative – and how to implement it.”
Phil Evans Director General of EUMETSAT.
