, author Gary Hamel has been superbly perceptive in culling out the future trends in this Internet age, where information has democratised everything, everywhere in the world.
 
According to Hamel, managerial action has moved from the boardrooms, right up to the customer point. Also, he believes the traditional pyramid of organisation hierarchies is about to collapse, giving way to lattice structures. Empowerment is going to have a completely novel perspective as elucidated in some of the examples that Hamel has described in this book.
 
I believe these insights hold tremendous relevance for Ceat. Following The Future of Management offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leapfrog into leadership by ringing in the future much faster than the competition. I am keen on carrying out many managerial experiments at my place of work and make business progress happen right there in real time.
