Description
"For the first time in history, more employees work with their minds than with their muscles. Their value lies in their mental abilities and their knowledge. Collectively, they are the "mind" of the company - a mind spread across many individual brains. The authors of this book call it "the distributed mind."" "The distributed mind is a powerful force, for if two heads are better than one, imagine how much better 20 heads are - if it is possible to manage them all! That's the fascinating subject of The Distributed Mind: How progressive companies are creating teams of "knowledge workers" and coordinating their individual efforts into a web of high performance." "Dozens of case studies and examples show that "knowledge workers" aren't just engineers, lawyers, and programmers - they are the predominant workers in virtually every industry, at all levels and in all functions. They represent a fundamental change in the nature of organizations and the way work gets done. The Distributed Mind not only reveals this new world of work, it helps you make sense of it - and make the most of it."--Jacket.
