Reinventing Organizations

“Ground-breaker! Game-changer! Brilliant! The most exciting book I’ve read in years on organization design and leadership models. Sustainability? Employee engagement? Innovation? This elegant, parsimonious way of working realizes those aspirations effortlessly while exceeding traditional bottom-line measures and infusing heart and spirit into work without gimmicks. Like a Zen practice, learning to do less takes discipline, and this book shows how letting go gives back- to you, your organization, your stakeholders, and the world.”

-Jenny Wade, Ph.D., Author of Changes of Mind

“People have long asked me what a “5th order,” or “high stage” organization would look like in the flesh. Frederic Laloux’s richly researched book is the closest anyone has come, as yet, to answering this question. This is a stimulating and inspiring read!”

- Robert Kegan, Harvard University’s Meehan Professor of Adult Learning, and author of In Over Our Heads

“A book like Reinventing Organizations only comes along once in a decade. Sweeping and brilliant in scope, it is the Good To Great for a more enlightened age. What it reveals about the organizational model of the future is exhilarating and deeply hopeful.”

-Norman Wolfe, Author of The Living Organization

“A comprehensive, highly practical account of the emergent world view in business. Everything you need to know about building a new paradigm organization!”

-Richard Barrett, Chairman and Founder of the Barrett Values Centre

“Frederic Laloux has done business people and professionals everywhere a signal service. He has discovered a better future for organizations by describing, in useful detail, the unusual best practices of today.”

-Bill Torbert, Author of Action Inquiry

“Frederic Laloux’s ‘Teal Organization’ is as close a model to what I call a ‘conscious organization’ as I have seen-an organization and a culture that not only thrives in the unfolding paradigm of collective thought but helps in the unfolding. It could serve as the midwife for a new worldview that will allow humankind to consciously evolve to a level where the world works for everyone.”

-John Renesch, futurist, founder of FutureShapers, LLC and author of 14 books, including The Great Growing Up

“As the rate of change escalates exponentially, the old ways of organizing and educating, which were designed for efficiency and repetition, are dying. Frederic Laloux is one of the few management leaders exploring what comes next. It’s deeply different.”

-Bill Drayton, Founder, Ashoka: Innovators for the Public
