Recenzii

With a combination of statistics and storytelling, Alice Mann brings this point to life. Whether you’re a seasoned professional, a budding entrepreneur, or an individual committed to tackling the great challenges of the world, Future First is a must-read."
–Willy Foote, Founder/CEO of Root Capital
"With her keen business acumen and deep compassion for people who will inherit our successes and failures, Mann has written a book that’s one-part business strategy, one-part inspiration, and one-part plea to the leaders of the world to consider the long-term consequences of our actions.

This is truly a must-read for any entrepreneur interested achieving lasting and integrated business results and social change."

"With her framing of the Five Practices of Future First, together with case studies of some of the leading firms working to integrate those practices into their business, Mann offers not only a window into the marketplace of tomorrow, but important insights into how today’s CEOs and managers may best position themselves to shape that future. Given her years of experience consulting to leadership teams in diverse industries, she is able to offer both relevant lessons and compelling stories of how Future First Companies is a powerful framework for today’s entrepreneurs and leadership teams."

Descriere
Future First is a practical guide for any business leader who wants to build, expand, or reinvent their company by finding new value in global challenges. Traditional companies often view issues like income equality, global warming, and resource scarcity as "problems." By contrast, future first leaders understand them as opportunities, as innovation challenges.
Through real-life business examples ranging from Nike to Opower, this book lays out how to identify and adopt the future first leadership mindset and business capabilities required to achieve lasting and integrated performance results. Future First examines how leaders from companies including Unilever, Etsy, Revolution Foods, Method Products, and others have adopted this mindset toward innovation and people practices, accelerating business ecosystem transformation.
Alice Mann, an organizational psychologist with twenty years of experience consulting and coaching on executive leadership, organization design, and business transformation, interviewed scores of business leaders to understand how their companies are expanding into new value frontiers. Future First makes a convincing argument that successful partnerships and alliances among big global companies and small mission-driven ones can reshape the global ecosystems of apparel, food, automobiles, and energy, and remake the future of our world.
