A Review of People Oriented Leadership (Hardback)

As we reach a pivotal point in the 21st century, this book invites reflection on the evolving relationship between employees and the organizations they serve. People practices, expressed through leadership, policy, experience, and culture, shape how employees are treated and valued. This collection explores performance, hybrid work, culture, engagement, technology, and fit, highlighting a shift already underway: from HR as a department to people practices as an organizational competence. Each chapter offers insight into how leaders can reimagine the workplace through intentional choices. Readers are encouraged to recognize the tension of imaging a new paradigm through the lens of the current paradigm to identify applicable ideas and rethink traditional assumptions.
