Charles Handy article on the organization revolution and how to harness it. Handy states that, if managers and other organizational leaders get the organization revolution right, a better work-life balance can emerge. The result would be more wealth, responsibility, and independence for all workers, young and efficient new organizations, and an end to traditional and antagonistic office/company dynamics. Handy proceeds to highlight new arrangements in work, such as mini-businesses, the addition of terminals to trains for information consolidation, and the substitution of fees for wages in worker compensation. These changes have resulted in new types of organizational growth, namely, the contractual organization, the professional organization, and the federal organization. Moving forward, Handy recommends small experimental steps in new management and application of successful case law in order to maximize the benefits of the new organizations, which would allow for steady change over time.
