Abstract
Purpose
Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting‐edge research and case studies.
Design/methodology/approach
This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.
Findings
Once upon a time, if you dared to criticise the boss you were fired. Complaining about any aspect of the company's structures and methods also counted as criticising the boss, so you got fired for that too. Best advice if you wanted to keep your job was to keep your mouth firmly shut and just get on with it.
Practical implications
Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to digest format.
