Peter Block 

Despite all the evidence calling for profound change, most organizations still rely on patriarchy and control as their core form of governance. The result is that they stifle initiative and spirit, and alienate people from the work they do.  Peter Block insists that what is required is a dramatic shift in how we distribute power, privilege, and the control of money.

A Great Place to Work For All
Great-place-to-work-for-all-3D_432x600

Michael Bush

Today's business climate is defined by speed, social technologies, and people's expectations of “values” besides value. As a result, leaders have to create an outstanding culture for all, no matter who they are or what they do for the organization. Through inspiring stories and compelling research, the authors demonstrate that great places to work for all benefit the individuals working there and contribute to a better global society—even as they outperform in the stock market and grow revenue three times faster than less-inclusive rivals.
