This document discusses new approaches for managing organizations in the modern, networked society. It advocates for a complete paradigm shift from traditional, reactive management of people to transforming management as a social activity focused on managing the system. Specifically, it promotes managing through autonomy and self-organization of teams, aligning people around shared intentions and directions rather than tightly controlling actions. It also discusses related concepts like lean thinking, systems thinking, complexity theory and agile development principles that emphasize eliminating waste, building quality, respecting people, and optimizing the whole system through fast experimentation and learning.

environment where people
are motivated to give their
gifts and sweat at work?
