Attention Managers: Barking Orders Is Out. Curiosity, Initiative, and Imagination Are In.

Welcome to the "new economy", where the world's most important work will be "brainwork", done in semi-permanent networks of small, autonomous, project-oriented teams. it's happening sooner than you think. In fact, as Tom Peters reveals in his revolutionary new bestseller, it's happening now. Are you ready for it? Under Liberation Management, old hierarchical business structures are being consigned to the shredder and replaced with flexible, fast-responding, ad hoc groups of brainworkers.

Total Engagement. Dynamism. Speed. Independence.

These are the keys to success in the business future. Liberation Management is already being practiced at cutting-edge companies from CNN to the Body Shop to Germany's Playmobil and even the radically revamped Union Pacific Railroad.

Don't Be Left Behind.

Liberation Management is as essential to success in the 1990s as In Search of Excellence was in the 1980s. Read it now.
