Chapters include: Managing ProcessesMeasuring PerformanceManaging ChangeManaging TalentManaging GloballyManaging EmotionallyManaging Millennials

Quality, forward-looking management doesn't just drive profits; it is a vital contribution to creating a healthy, peaceful society. "Management matters," the authors write. "It shapes the world. It is the vital lubricant that protects us from chaos. It is a calling and an enabling force."
