Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
While it is impossible to say with any degree of certainty what the future will be like, it is already possible to discern its most important features and key challenges:
Markets will be global with information free to flow anywhere without hindrance or restriction.The center of power will rest squarely with consumers because they have access to so much information.The importance of manufacturing to the overall economy will continue to fall.The social complexion of the new economy will be different as knowledge workers become the most dominant group.The key management challenges of the future will be tackled by individuals, not by governments.In all, the best way to face the future is to have an understanding of the tools which are available and the skills to manage them well.

“Executives spend more time on managing people and making people decisions than on anything else, and they should. No other decisions are so long-lasting in their consequences or so difficult to unmake. Executives who do not make the effort to get their people decisions right do more than risk poor performance. They risk their organization’s respect.”
– Peter Drucker
To make more effective promotional and staffing decisions, managers should:
Think through the assignment – and realize the requirements will evolve over time. Therefore, choose the right person for the future, not the past.Look at a large number of potential applicants – at a very minimum at least three to five qualified people.Look for strengths, not weaknesses – since you cannot build future performance on weaknesses.Discuss with each candidate the people who have worked with them – to see whether or not they have the ability to build future leaders and managers.Take the time to explain the job fully and follow-up three or four months later – since the things a person does to get the job will be entirely different to what they need to be doing once they’ve been in the role for three months or longer.
