Future Shaping: Leadership for Generative Organisations by Dr. Michele Sagan
Published by Penguin Random House
The future of work is not arriving evenly. Organisations across Asia-Pacific are navigating disruption, workforce disconnection, deepening discontent, and environmental degradation all at once. Most leadership frameworks were not built for that combination.
Future Shaping is a practical book for leaders who want to understand what is actually changing — and build organisations capable of performing through it. It introduces the concept of the Generative Organisation: one that creates value while developing its people, sustaining its environment, and remaining genuinely purposeful. It shows what Generative Leadership looks like in practice, and it gives HR professionals and people leaders a framework — Generative HRM — for building human capital strategy that holds up under real conditions.
The book draws on extensive research across Asia-Pacific, Dr. Sagan's doctoral work at the University of Nottingham, and more than two decades of practice with boards and senior leaders across the region.
Foreword by Professor Joseph Cherian.
