The alliance : managing talent in the networked age

Hoffman, Reid. (Author). Casnocha, Ben. (Added Author). Yeh, Chris. (Added Author).

Summary: For most of the 20th century, the relationship between employers and employees in the developed world was all about stability and lifetime loyalty. That has recently changed, giving way to a transactional, laissez-faire approach that serves neither party well. A new arrangement is needed, the authors argue--one built on alliance (usually temporary) and reciprocity. The high-tech start-up community of Silicon Valley is pointing the way--and companies that wish to be similarly agile and entrepreneurial [may] learn valuable lessons from its example. Under the new compact, both employer and employee seek to add value to each other.
