Our organizations are failing us. Theyre sluggish, change-phobic, and emotionally arid. Human beings, by contrast, are adaptable, creative, and full of passion. This gap between individual and organizational capability is the unfortunate by-product of bureaucracy--the top-down, rule-choked management structure that undergirds virtually every organization on the planet.

Invented in the nineteenth century with the goal of turning people into semi-programmable robots, bureaucracy is deeply dehumanizing. Today, only 13 percent of employees around the world are fully engaged in their work. The rest show up physically but leave much of their enthusiasm and ingenuity at home--hardly surprising given the tendency of bureaucrats to regard human beings as mere resources.

By the authors reckoning, bureaucracy costs the global economy more than $9 trillion in lost economic output each year. Worse, despite all the hype around flat organizations and agile processes, bureaucracy is growing, not shrinking.

In their provocative and practical new book, world-renowned business thinker Gary Hamel and expert coauthor Michele Zanini lay out a detailed blueprint for creating organizations that are fully human and free from the shackles of bureaucracy. Few leaders would admit to being champions of bureaucracy, but rarer still is the leader who has a plan for defeating it. Essential elements include:

Calculating the hidden costs of bureausclerosis Ridding ourselves of toxic bureaucratic beliefs Drawing lessons from organizations that have excised bureaucracy Uprooting bureaucratic structures and processes while avoiding operational chaos Overcoming the resistance of those inclined to defend bureaucracy Learning to lead in an environment in which position and rank are no longer the keys to the kingdom

The ultimate goal: organizations that are infused with the spirit of entrepreneurship, where everyone thinks like an owner, and game-changing innovation is the rule rather than the exception.

Humanocracy brims with illuminating insights, real-world stories, and powerful tools. Both manifesto and manual, it shows you how to build an organization thats fit for the future by building one thats fit for human beings.

Rarely has the case for dismantling bureaucracy been made as effectively, passionately, and comprehensively. The time to start is now, and the book to read is Humanocracy, Hamel and Zaninis practical guide to creating work environments that give everyone the opportunity to flourish. This is essential to revitalizing our organizations and reinvigorating our economies.

Hamel and Zanini have achieved two remarkable feats. Theyve produced one of the most cogent critiques of bureaucracy that Ive ever readexplaining the many ways that bureaucratic organizations undermine human autonomy, resilience, and creativity. And theyve issued a stirring call to do betterto build organizations that liberate the everyday genius of the people inside them. Packed with keen insights and practical guidance, Humanocracy is an essential book.

Humanocracy provides the reader with a road map to helping organizations unleash creativity, energy, and resiliency through leveraging the core of every organizationhumans.

GEN. STANLEY M c CHRYSTAL, US Army, Ret.; author, Team of Teams

Humanocracy is the most important management book I have read in a very long time. This is not just another book about the power of purpose or the joys of empowerment. Rather, its a detailed, well-researched, data-driven, compellingly argued expos on the massive costs of bureaucracy in society. Hamel and Zanini offer an equally compelling argument for why it doesnt have to be this way, complete with a practical guide for creating organizations that really work.

AMY EDMONDSON, Professor, Harvard Business School; author, The Fearless Organization

Almost all large organizations create a bureaucratic system for the sake of elusive safety. In reality, bureaucracy paralyzes the organization and frustrates employees. Humanocracy is a practical guide about how to escape this trap and unlock the hidden potential of large organizations and, most importantly, of their biggest asset, their employees.

OLIVER BTE, Chairman and CEO, Allianz

Great companies in todays highly dynamic world need to unleash the power of their people to multiply value and impact. Humanocracy presents a compelling handbook for how large organizations can reduce bureaucracy, create a highly engaged workforce, and build leaders that serve their people.

VAS NARASIMHAN, CEO, Novartis

If an organization has ever crushed your hopes and dreams, this book just might help to rejuvenate you. Its hard to imagine a better guide to busting bureaucracies and building workplaces that live up to the potential of the people inside them.

ADAM GRANT, New York Times bestselling author, Originals and Give and Take; host, TED WorkLife podcast

Hamel and Zanini have written a bold, essential guide to building an organization infused with the same spirit of creativity and entrepreneurship as the people who work there. Their post-bureaucratic vision of work is not just timely but energizing.

ERIC RIES, author, The Lean Startup

Fast technology and business innovations call for a big overhaul of traditional bureaucratic organizations. Humanocracy provides a stimulating and inspiring framework for creating the innovative organizations of the future.

MING ZENG, former Chief Strategy Officer, Alibaba Group; author, Smart Business

Humanocracy makes the case for replacing chain of command with chain of trust and radical transparency. Its a prescription for unlocking game-changing innovation and the value of every individual.

MARC BENIOFF, Chair and CEO, Salesforce; author, Trailblazer

At last, a playbook to take a sledgehammer to bureaucracy. The reasons for bureaucracy have long vanished in the digital ageand yet it persists. Hamel and Zanini introduce us to an alternative that energizes people rather than crushing their souls, humanizing the organization for higher levels of accountability and impact.

DIANE GHERSON, Chief Human Resources Officer, IBM

For a business to perform its role of producing products and services that help people improve their lives, its employees must be fully empowered to continually improve their ability to contribute. This requires roles that fit their unique abilities and a culture that celebrates and rewards innovation, collaboration, challenge, and all the other elements of principled entrepreneurship. Humanocracy illustrates a basic condition for bringing this abouteliminating bureaucratic management. Such a change is not only essential for long-term business success but for a free and open society that gives everyone the opportunity to rise.

CHARLES G. KOCH, Chairman and CEO, Koch Industries; founder, Stand Together; and author, Good Profit

In Humanocracy, Hamel and Zanini challenge the old order and, simultaneously, show the path to creating a new and better order capable of achieving higher goals for businesses and the communities they serve.

At a time when the digital revolution is changing every aspect of human life, the authors rightly caution businesses that their change-resistant and often wasteful bureaucratic structures are a drag on their growth. Bureaucracy impedes employees creativity, undermines their self-motivation, and hinders their workplace happiness.

Therefore, the need to transform business organizations into human-centric entities has become more pressing than ever before. How can we succeed in this task? I have found no better guide than Humanocracya book that every change-seeker and change-agent must read.

MUKESH AMBANI, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries Limited; named one of Time 100: The Most Influential People of 2019

Hamel and Zanini argue that bureaucracy is soul-crushing, and theyre right. With only 15 percent of the worlds 1.4 billion full-time workers engaged at their jobs, we have to empower the individual or human beings will never bloom. Depending on you, this book can change the world a little or a lot.

JIM CLIFTON, CEO, Gallup

Humanocracy is a must-read to survive and prosper in the future. The book is a tour de force.

VIJAY GOVINDARAJAN, Coxe Distinguished Professor, Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth; author, The Three-Box Solution

Innovation is as important to how we organize ourselves as it is to what we make. Humanocracy shows how it is possible to unlock the passion and creative potential within our organizations and give ourselves a fighting chance of successfully tackling the most important challenges of our time.

TIM BROWN, Chair, IDEO; author, Change by Design

Humanocracy is a book about unleashing human potential by replacing bureaucracy with passion and creativity. A must-read for anyone who wants to build efficient human-centric organizations.

JIM HAGEMANN SNABE, Chairman, Siemens AG; Chairman, AP MllerMrsk A/S; author, Dreams and Details

Humanocracy thoughtfully outlines why the time has come for organizations to abandon their bureaucratic ways and bring humanity back into the workplace. I found myself nodding throughout the book and thinking YES! This is it. This is the new management paradigm weve been needing for decades. Hamel and Zanini have done it!
