American business, economics, and society are changing at the speed of light.

In this title, the author directs the reader down the path of business survival by stressing these skills: the ability to identify important changes, the ability to do more with less, and the ability to create new patterns in the workplace.

Industry Reviews
James focuses on qualities she says contribute to better leadership, such as perspective, cultural knowledge and valuing diversity. A Washington urban cultural anthropologist, she concentrates on the impact of social trends and fads in America. She notes that success in business and life requires rapid change, that leadership in the 1990s must be different to be effective. Improvements come from mastering "new forms of intelligence." However, too many glib generalizations and the lack of practical leadership suggestions mar the book. Also, one could ask if good leadership qualities really change rapidly, or if the basic qualities tend to stay the same. First serial to Working Woman. (June)
