“This book presents, for the first time, the essential Kanter: a collection of her cutting-edge ideas and wisdom accumulated from two decades of experience, and which hold even more relevance today than they did in the past.” -HR Magazine This landmark book brings together all of Rosabeth Moss Kanter’s Harvard Business Review articles and many of the editorial columns she wrote while an editor at HBR. The pieces span a variety of critical topics: strategy, innovation, customer focus, global trends, planning for change, strategic alliances, compensation systems, and community responsibility-all brought together to enforce a single, timeless message: the importance of treating people as assets, not costs, and providing the tools and conditions that liberate people to use their brainpower to make a difference.
