About the Book (1998)
As Michael Fradette and Steve Michaud remind us in The Power of Corporate Kinetics, you can't predict the future, but you can be ready for whatever it may bring. Enter the kinetic enterprise, ravenous for information, equipped with a hair-trigger response, ready to attack every opportunity, constantly evolving to meet the unpredictable future, and fully equipped to capitalize on the turbulence that confuses competitors. Leaders and employees from companies in a wide variety of industries - from manufacturing to health care, from Kinko's to MTV to John Deere - share their experiences that illuminate kinetic organizations and kinetic employees. Leaders' stories will answer questions that managers ask about managing tomorrow's workforce. Employees' stories will give workers insight into how their jobs and careers might look five or 10 years from today.
