Already in 1981, I decided that mere prophetic predictions were not enough. I had to try and practice at least some of what I preached, I had to find out for myself what it was like to leave the shelter of an organization and start fending for myself - to be what I've come to call a flea, outside the world of large organizations that had been pillars of twentieth-century wage-worker society...
What will the world be like in this e-age of fleas and elephants? What is the future of capitalism and how will it change, given that the values are now knowledge and know-how rather than land and things that can be seen and counted?
Charles Handy
Drawing on his personal experiences, Charles Handy now explores the future of everything from education, work and marriage to capitalism, leadership, religion and society.
Charles Handy is a famous business philosopher, author and media star, known to many for his 'Thoughts of the Day' show on the BBC's Today programme. The texts of these books are collected in the book Waiting for the Mountain to Move. His books, including "The Empty Raincoat", have sold more than a million copies worldwide. At one time, Handy was the marketing manager of the oil company Shell, an economist, a professor at the London Business School and the chairman of the Royal Society of Arts.
