Joost and Pim, the Corporate Rebels, are on a mission to make work more fun. Fun, in this context, means more than providing a company pool table, throwing a few bean bags in the corner and offering free beer on Fridays. The mission is to bring meaning, excitement, motivation and passion to workplaces, where people can become the best possible versions of themselves. Nothing less. The authors quit frustrating corporate jobs to visit some amazing people at the world's most inspiring companies. While checking off their Bucket List here, they share what they have learned so far. They have identified eight trends that are unleashing a workplace revolution. This is not a "how-to" book; no one can tell you how to create the perfect workplace. But you can be inspired by others, learn from pioneers and experiment with new ways of working. Figure out what works for you and what doesn't. This book is for people who know workplaces could, and should, be better. Whether you're in the C-suite, a rebel who has been suppressed by corporate dogma or a revolutionary who is fed up with work after just three months: here is a message for you. Change doesn't have to start at the top. A few confident rebels have changed entire corporations. No matter your role, there's always a way for you to challenge the status quo. So keep an open mind, have fun reading this tale of travel and transformation - and learn how work can be fun.

Corporate Rebels

Start-up Factory chronicles one of the boldest business transformations ever: the audacious strategies of a company that has thrown traditional management out the window. The result is an entrepreneurial nexus that is as organic as a neural network, and as nimble as the most dynamic start-up. Haier, the world's largest manufacturer of home appliances, has continually reinvented itself by busting bureaucracy and shunning top-down management. Its CEO, Zhang Ruimin, envisioned and unleashed - the potential of 80,000 highly motivated employees. In Start-up Factory the authors draw on years of painstaking research to describe the birth and evolution of Hair's RenDanHeYi model. They explain how it is being implemented in companies the world over. Packed with operational success stories, Start-up Factory lays out the fundamentals, and shows how any organisation can benefit from RenDanHeyi.

Prefazione di Joshua Volpara Più di 150 incontri in tutto il mondo con imprenditori, manager e studiosi, pionieri di un nuovo modo di concepire business e lavoro, un blog seguito da decine di migliaia di persone, i servizi di media planetari come NY Times, The Guardian, Forbes, BBC, la vittoria del Radar Award 2019 nel Thinkers50 (l’oscar del management), hanno portato in pochissimi anni due giovani olandesi al centro dell’attenzione internazionale. Un’ampia trasformazione era già in atto nel mondo del lavoro prima che l’emergenza Covid costringesse intere nazioni ad adottare massivamente quello che solo in Italia chiamiamo “smart working”. Ma il vero lavoro “intelligente” emerge dalle pagine di questo libro che catturano un movimento epocale capace di trasformare il business in ogni angolo del pianeta: dal profitto al proposito, dalla piramide gerarchica alla rete di team, dall’autorità centralizzata alla leadership distribuita, dal comando e controllo all’autonomia e alla fiducia, dalla pianificazione strategica alla sperimentazione adattiva, dalla segretezza alla trasparenza radicale... Nel loro viaggio Pim e Joost hanno saputo intercettare i pionieri del cambiamento. Ora la crisi globale sta trasformando in strada maestra i sentieri alternativi del loro racconto.
