MEGA SESSION: The Emerging Work World in the Participation Age
Companies of every size are leaving behind the outdated management practices of the Industrial Age, to grow exponentially faster with fewer employees. They’re doing it with a Participation Age culture that results in increased stability and much higher staff retention. Imagine companies where:
- People require very little management
- Employee turnover is exponentially lower
- Employees become committed stakeholders in self-managed work teams
- Policy manuals are replaced with a few written beliefs and principles
- Re-humanizing the workplace is a company-wide practice, not a department
Get clarity on why:
- The management practices we inherited from the Factory System are destructive
- The emerging work world will be built around The Participation Age
- We must replace employees with stakeholders, and managers with leaders
- Participation Age leadership creates faster growth, higher profits, and more longevity
