Recommendation

While pondering management in the digital age, social philosopher Charles Handy draws examples from his own illustrious career. Using a pleasant though meandering style, Handy addresses how digital technologies enable people to shape their own destinies and examines what challenges this shift presents. getAbstract recommends Handy’s warm, insightful talk to recruitment managers and to young graduates embarking on their career paths.

Take-Aways

  • Talented youngsters no longer want careers at large institutions where their career paths are predetermined. Instead, they seek opportunities to “shape their own destinies.”
  • New tech companies enable employees to forge their own destinies. Managers in all companies ought to help their subordinates achieve this goal.
  • With so much technology at their disposal, managers might be tempted to engage in “helicopter managing.” However, this approach stifles creativity.
