Rebels At Work
“Rebelliousness and restlessness are accepted qualities of entrepreneurs. But what about people on the inside of big organizations? How do they blaze new trails and find ways to change business as usual. What are their characteristics? Could they be an untapped resource for creating more innovative, engaged corporate cultures?”
Rebels At Work takes a slightly sideways look at HR. Rather than focussing on the “tried and true,” Lois Kelly and Carmen Medina write from a contrarian perspective, focussing on the disruptions taking place across talent management and employment. The result is a fascinating read that creates plenty of “Aha!” moments.
