FLAT ARMY: HOW TO BUILD A CONNECTED AND
ENGAGED ORGANIZATION
Leaders of any ilk are struggling. Employees want to be included in
conversations and decisions, and management is stuck sorting out
how teams and organizations should actually operate in this new
flat, yet technologically social, world order. There is no easy way
to undo what years of management practice have done to us. The
process has to start with leadership. Challenge yourself. Challenge
the status quo. Push the boundaries of organizational change.

is less about theory and more about people rolling up their
sleeves, executing and winning together. And he should know –

the trade show and generally act as HRPA ambassadors to the
thousands of conference delegates, speakers, exhibitors and guests
