Just in Time Leadership: Managing the Free Agent Workforce

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Just in Time Leadership is a highly innovative approach to management founded on extensive, timely research. The basic assumption of Just in Time Leadership is quite simple: the new economy will increasingly demand that companies move beyond static long-term staffing models toward a more fluid model; in response, most successful companies will organize themselves around small core groups of longer-term employees and rely on large fluid talent pools. For managers, this will mean drawing on the fluid talent pool as needed to staff projects, tasks, and responsibilities; consequently, a whole range of management practices will undergo fundamental changes.

Just in Time Leadership gives leaders and managers a running start on these changes. The practices it outlines are best practices for getting the advantage by maximizing human talent in the unpredictable, high-speed, high-tech, knowledge-driven, fiercely competitive, new global economy.
