About this title

About the Author:

James N. Kelly is the cochairman of Gemini Consulting.

From Publishers Weekly:

This upbeat management primer views the corporation as a living organism complete with body, mind and spirit. The key to a company's successful adaptation and growth is the unified pursuit of common goals, achieved by keeping in sync its technology, "work architecture," reward structure and other "biocorporate" systems. Using numerous case histories involving DuPont, Philips, Citibank, Ashland Oil, Rolls-Royce, Texas retailer HEB and other firms, the authors, executives with Gemini, a global consulting firm, explain how to harness motivation by creating a large number of "natural work teams," small groups of multitalented people empowered with the authority to take action. Instead of a "Pavlovian," carrot-and-stick reward system, they recommend instituting "individual learning" by linking rewards to an employee's expanding opportunities, skills and participation. This is a visionary yet practical blueprint for corporate restructuring and renewal. 50,000 first printing; $100,000 ad/promo; author tour.
