Back in 1984, Alvin Toffler wrote The Third Wave, in which he stated we were in the midst of a change from the Industrial Society to the Information Society. The world of business has been heading in this new direction for over a quarter century. Are you?
In the October 2008 issue of Entrepreneur Magazine, Robert Kiyosaki (author of Rich Dad, Poor Father and other books) says that older business owners need to “get with it” (my phrase, not his). Are you?
Do you live in the past? Or are you thinking about change in the future? How will you manage those Gen Y and Gen X employees? Will you think of new ways to do things, taking advantage of new technology? Or will you keep on with the same old ways?
There is a lot to be stated (and my husband states it often) for the good old tried-and-true ways of managing people and running a business. But in the 21st century, are those ways still valid?
What do you think?
