Publisher Description

In today's workplace, managers must be able to accept accountability for the overall well-being of the company, yet also be able to give up the need to control or be controlled by others. Author Peter Block discusses ways to create a new kind of workplace, where every employee thinks and acts like an owner, by integrating management with workers to increase productivity. This program features exclusive interviews with the author, Harley Davidson President/CEO Richard Teerlink, best selling author Margaret Wheatley, and others who have benefited from these time-tested principles.

"Peter is incorrigibly idealistic and rigorously practical at the same time. This is the "idealistic" perspective. If individuals and companies actually acted like this, we'd have better, stronger businesses and a happier world."
