Summary
  • Aaron Dignan confronts teams all over the world with one simple question: "What's stopping you from doing the best work of your life?" He's found that nearly everyone, from Wall Street to Silicon Valley, points to the same frustrations: lack of trust, bottlenecks in decision making, siloed functions and teams, meeting and email overload, tiresome budgeting,short-term thinking, and more. Dignan says you can't fix a team, department, or organization by tinkering around the edges. Over the years, he has helped his clients completely reinvent their operating systems- the fundamental principles and practices that shape their culture- with extra-ordinary success. And they're not alone. Their stories may sound improbable, but in Brave New Work you'll learn exactly how they and other organizations are inventing a smarter, healthier, and more effective way to work. Not through top-down mandates, but through groundswell of autonomy, trust, and transparency.--adapted from book jacket
