"Leadership today is outmoded and ill-suited to activate and engage the most diverse work-force in history. This is why leaders capable of inspiring, engaging, aligning, coaching, and coaxing out individual and team brilliance are more in need than ever before. Hence the reason for this manifesto. Paradoxically, the answer does not lie in systems but in humanity. The more technology pervades our lives, the greater our need for clarity, courage, caring, culture, and talent cultivation--all things that machines cannot create for us. We cannot wait for C-suite executives to respond appropriately to this crisis of employee engagement. We--the managers responsible for the people who create value for our companies--must do this for ourselves, and our people. This is our manifesto!"--Back cover
