Job Strategy

Almost one in four American working adults has a job that pays less than a living wage. Conventional wisdom says that’s how the world has to work. Bad jobs with low wages, minimal benefits, little training, and chaotic schedules are the only way companies can keep costs down and prices low.

But in The Good Jobs Strategy, Zeynep Ton, a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, makes the compelling case that even in low-cost settings, leaving employees behind - with bad jobs - is a choice, not a necessity.

Gods of Strategy reveals the hidden architecture beneath leadership, conflict, and organisational change. Drawing on the insights of Carl Gustav Jung and the enduring power of myth, this book uncovers the four deep patterns that shape every strategic landscape: the force that restores order, the force that stabilises, the force that reframes, and the force that renews. Rather than offering another model or management trend, Gods of Strategy gives leaders a new form of perception — mythic intelligence — the ability to sense the underlying movement of a situation before it becomes visible...
