Navigating organizational change in uncertain times.
If the constant flux in the business world both intrigues and daunts you, Charles Handy's insights could act as a compass. The world isn't what it was in the '80s, and "Beyond Certainty" unpacks that evolution with clarity and depth. Think of it as a guidebook for embracing uncertainty and rethinking the rigidity of traditional organizations, a must-read to future-proof your approach to change.
