Summary
Your roadmap for the new world of work
Today's deluge of organizational change needn't leave employer and employee at odds. Free Agents presents a win-win scenario for both. Here, individuals learn how to take charge of their lives and careers, to separate themselves from their jobs and redefine themselves in terms of the new marketplace. Organizations discover a process for aligning the needs of these empowered professionals with the needs of the organization. It helps them to improve their competitive advantage, create and sustain a Free Agent community, and establish an environment where everyone is committed to excellence. An upbeat alternative to marketplace malaise.
