	Dave and Wendy Ulrich’s book about abundance is itself an example of abundance. Dave, a business writer, and Wendy, a psychologist, sweep you up in a tide of leadership ideas, processes, quotations and stories that hammer home a thesis so right and true you might mistake it for common sense: Workers who care about their jobs and understand why they work will exceed your expectations and break the boundaries of their job descriptions. They will better serve customers who, in turn, will bind themselves to the thoughtful firm that produced such an enlightened staff. If this sounds like the yellow brick road, the authors cobble together ample gold paving stones to build a solid path toward fulfilling your firm’s potential.

	There's a "new deal" for employees, according to authors N. Fredric Crandall and Marc J. Wallace. This "new deal" encompasses a new world of work in a virtual environment in which coworkers may seldom communicate face to face. In order to succeed, the traditional workplace must be reshaped with updated practices around communication, management, and rewards. Work & Rewards in the Virtual Workplace shares case studies from companies that are prospering from their successful transition to using virtual teams on an ongoing basis.		ANTICIPATING THE FUTURE - KEY TO HR SUCCESS. It is essential for HR Leaders to accurately anticipate the future and how such changes may affect their accountability.

Given the accelerated changes occurring in today's workplace, any HR leader desiring to make a strategic contribution must look to the future with more foresight and accuracy than ever before. We Michael R. Losey, Sue Meisinger & Dave Ulrich set out to prepare this book because of our individual and collective passion about the HR Profession. Each bring a unique perspective to this profession.
