Article exploring Charles Handy's work and philosophy. Pickard begins discussing Handy's life and work achievements at Shell Oil Company, and how he was dissatisfied with most of the positions he found himself in while working for conventional organizations. The death of Handy's father caused him to reevaluate his career course and make the necessary, required changes in order to have a more fulfilling life, which ultimately led to his becoming a self-employed writer and consultant. The remainder of the article explores the contributions of Handy's wife, Elizabeth, to his work and lifestyle, and introduces relevant concepts that Handy has created in his management theorizing, such as the shamrock model of organizations.
