Résumé

In this collection of 35 recent essays, Handy shares his reflections on a changing world, a world in which we can be certain only of uncertainty.

Handy advocates compromise as the path to progress and urges organizations to give more freedom to individual employees in order to maintain a balance between commitment and creativity.
