| Summary |
Here, for the first time, is the essential Kanter: the cutting-edge ideas and wisdom of nearly two decades that are even more relevant today. With Rosabeth Moss Kanter on the Frontiers of Management, the renowned management guru presents a sweeping look back across the changing landscape of business - what has worked well, what hasn't, and what businesses still need to learn - as well as a penetrating look forward at the challenges of leadership and innovation still to be met. In this landmark book, Kanter has integrated all her Harvard Business Review articles and the framing essays she wrote as Editor into a powerful new statement. Ever at the frontier, Kanter has published this book as a compelling call to action. Together, her articles and essays crystallize the real work of business leaders and serve as a provocative reminder of why they should never lose sight of the fact that values - and people - are the foundation of business success |
