Book
The 21st Century has changed the world of work. Beginning with the tragic events of 9/11 … and continuing through the war in Iraq and Hurricane Katrina, working people of every stripe have been bombarded. Between the increasing pressures of globalization and the instability of the world challenges are everywhere impacting the working person.
The exciting and wonderful news of our research into the thinking and behaviors of working people is they are changed … but more importantly they are also highly PRO-change, open to growth and more emotionally intelligent and focused on adaptation that most leaders and managers realize.
Ours is a hopeful and positive book, research based, on what working people are capable of today.
What People Are Saying
“A must-have book from the management guru Pat Gill Webber. Her insight on the effects of 9/11 on the workplace is a wake-up call to all of us who call ourselves leaders.”
Kathy Lewis,

“The recommendations in this book for organizations on how
to manage today’s workforce; and to individ-
uals on how to manage their careers are invaluable. (The recommendations evolved from extensive research.)
If you want to know the support for the recommend-
ations read the entire book. If you just want to benefit from the months of inter-
views and analysis go directly to, and immediately act upon, the recommend-ations.”
