Waiting for the Mountain to Move: Reflections on Work and Life: Charles Handy
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Here in the U.S., Britisher Handy has often been compared to Peter Drucker. Both are touted as management gurus with a worldwide following, and both are prolific writers. Handy is the author of such books as The Hungry Spirit (1998), The Age of Paradox (1994), and The Age of Unreason (1989). Often his work has a spiritual, almost religious aspect to it. In fact, for 10 years Handy broadcast his reflections on a variety of subjects every morning on the BBC’s Today program. These appeared as a three-minute “Thought for the Day” segment which had come to be known as “the god slot.” Here he provides 75 of these musings that were offered over a 10-year period framed, as he says, by the end of the cold war and the start of the Gulf War. Two common themes are Handy’s concern about the “dramatic changes that technology and economics are bringing to the workplace and to all our lives,” and his fascination with the connections between beliefs and actions.
