Stewardship

Více o knize

Stewardship was revolutionary when first published in 1993 and remains relevant today. Many organizations still depend on patriarchal and hierarchical governance, which stifles initiative and alienates employees. Peter Block argues for a fundamental shift in how power, privilege, and financial control are distributed, claiming that such changes can positively transform organizations. This revised edition includes a new introduction by Block discussing changes since the first edition and a chapter on applying stewardship for the common good of the wider community. The book offers a visionary yet pragmatic approach that can change how you work. Library Journal praises it as a profound new view on organizational management, stating that it transcends existing leadership literature. Gifford Pinchot III highlights its ability to bridge good business with ethical practices, suggesting that it can lead to better results while making a positive impact. Morley Winograd notes that Block's updated insights are particularly timely for millennials, emphasizing a governance model that prioritizes service over self-interest. Brian Camastral calls it essential for anyone interested in creating sustainable organizations, asserting that Block's ideas foster engagement, benefiting people, the environment, and business alike.
