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.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to ThriftBooks-Atlanta, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
