Transforming the Way We Work: The Power of the Collaborative Workplace

by Edward M. Marshall

What's the next evolutionary step for forward-thinking management? Many companies have tried altering their business processes, and even their organizational structures, but most efforts have not resulted in sustainable competitive advantage. In Transforming the Way We Work, Dr. Edward M. Marshall "In most instances, the underlying values by which these organizations are led have not changed.... Without fundamental cultural change and the adoption of a new approach to leading and managing, American businesses will continue to experience significant difficulties."
In Transforming the Way We Work, Dr. Marshall presents the "Collaborative Workplace," a powerful and practical answer to this dilemma. This highly successful approach is not a program-of-the-month - it's a total shift in how we approach work. It restores civility and trust to the workplace, gives us a way to empower ourselves, and enables us to create a more profitable business without sacrificing individuality. Transforming the Way We Work demonstrates why collaboration is the vital element for 21st-century survival, and how your organization can create a collaborative environment that works.
