They all come down to this: How do we maximize human endeavor? Grappling with epidemic talent defection and escalating turnover costs, the inability to develop leaders fast enough, straining to eek out greater performance with fewer resources, building cultures that welcome diverse views to maximize innovation, struggling to be hospitable to ever diversifying demographics, generational values conflicts...and all in the center spotlight in a global stage, enterprise leaders are desperate for answers.
Perhaps it's time to change the questions. Organizations have gorged on a revolving door of fads to contend with these perplexing challenges and are desperately hunting for the silver bullet that unlocks the mystery of how to let loose the power and passion of human potential.
With a future hurling at us at great speed and with impressive force and uncertainty, perhaps it's time to turn from our fixation with tips and techniques?
In Future in-Formation: Choosing a Generative Organizational Life, more fundamental and transformative questions are explored...ones that have been shown to truly unleash the greatest levels of passion and performance from people organized around any human endeavor. Moving away from quick-fix easy answers toward a holistic set of questions, Passages Consulting explores the deepest questions communities and their members have always asked that have led to the breakthroughs and zeal every leader hopes to discover in themselves and those they lead.
Future in-Formation will astound you, surprise you, inspire you, and ultimately enable you to build a generative organizational life for those with whom you lead...and unlock levels of perormanode, passion, and purpose you've never imagined possible.
Ron and Josh's insightful grasp and articulation of what they aptly name "generative leadership" is desperately needed in today's business climate. Their work is an inviting oasis within today's corporate world where relational "heart and soul" are all too often sacrificed on the altar of short term "efficiency". If you're a leader aiming to creating enduring greatness within your organization, you must engage in the truth Ron & Josh unfold in this book!
– Peter Ash, CEO, NDG Financial Corporation
Ron Carucci and Josh Epperson's thought provoking book provides a blueprint for leading and becoming a positive force within our own lives and within our organizations. A cautionary note: the tasks proposed in this book are not for the weak. Future in-Formation first invites the reader to think along with the authors, but then presents a series of challenging questions which can only be answered through hard work and soul searching. Having watched Ron Carucci and Josh Epperson at work, I am convinced that the readers' own unique answers to these questions can transform those who have the courage to face them.
