Book Description
What does it mean when decision making has speeded up beyond imagining? When life and work are fused rather than relegated to their own places and times? What about the impact of the serial career on industries built with the expectation that they were training employees for the long haul?Based on unique research and interviews, THE CHANGE AGENTS is a clear-eyed examination of what living in a wired world really means to organizational behavior and individual empowerment. The media has been full of stories of the dizzying ascents and fast falls of dot-commers over the last few years, but THE CHANGE AGENTS shows how the rest of the world -- from top CEOs to the guys in the mailroom -- is irrevocably affected by a paradigm shift as wrenching as the industrial revolution. Nickels has identified a self-empowered group she labels "Change Agents" who are demanding more power in the workplace than previous generations were granted after years with a company - and they are getting it. THE CHANGE AGENTS shows how they do it and why it matters. Backed by exclusive statistical research and scores of personal interviews, FASTER FORWARD is a revealing and significant look at the future for everyone who works today.Download Description
How despite the ups and downs of the NASDAQ -- the new economy has irrevocably changed life and the way things work.Customer Reviews:
Good profile, but lacks critical eye.......2002-06-27
However, in as much as it glorifies the dress-down, work-till-you-drop, super ambitious types who drive the New Economy, the author never asks the critical questions of cost. Nickles describes people postponing weddings, having no time for friends or romance. These are people who practically live in their offices because a home is not condusive to the frenetic pace of e-commerce. I admire the ambition and innovation of the Change Agents, but I'm not sure I want to see these people thirty years from now.
Apparently Ms. Nickles (who I assume didn't go through such a lifestyle) finds none of this disturbing.
A fascinating read........2002-01-26

Book Description
Do they think of you as a "changer" or "changee" at work? In today's dynamic world of enterprise every employee must continually choose to become an empowered "changer" or risk becoming a helpless "changee". With this provocative thought the new book, "Agents of Change @ Work" explores the attitudes and approach of today's job-effective, make-it-happen employees.Business writer and consultant, Bill Walsh, first analyses how the intersecting forces of globalization, the rise of a service-dominated economy, and the explosive proliferation of information technologies have forever altered the organizational landscape of today's successful business enterprises and the job demands of their employees. In this new economy employees at all levels must come to terms with a working world where change is the only constant; up-to- date information and speed of response are the ultimate competitive weapons; and individual resourcefulness always trumps organizational resources.
In the early chapters the author introduces a customer-focused, three-step work process that consistently leads to job-effective results. Next six key attributes are developed that define the work ethic of today's agent of change. These are initiative, credibility, energy, self-adaptability, commitment, and follow-up. With job approach and job attitude firmly established, Walsh next deals with two very timely issues : the ever expanding leadership roles of knowledge workers, and the leadership of teams.
There is an insightful chapter on how today's job leaders put the well-known business concepts of core competency and strategic intent to work for themselves by pinpointing their individual "performance" and "opportunity" gaps. Readers will also be amused and forewarned by a chapter tour of the "company zoo", where mavericks, psuedo-heroes and incompetent employees eventually wind up. In the concluding chapter seven powerful levers for effecting meaningful enterprise change are described.
Throughout the book, the wisdom of renowned leaders, from Henry Ford and Winston Churchill to Jack Welch and General Colin Powell, serve as the basis for the development of key leadership concepts. Key ideas are also illustrated by examining the underlying reasons for the continuing growth success of companies such as General Electric, Wal Mart, Merck, and Best Buy. At the end of each chapter there is a set of discusion questions that help to guide the reader in becoming a job-efffective and highly sought-after change agent.
