I knew how to organize communities, but had no idea how to run an organization, and it provided not only the bridge between the two, but the light at the end of the tunnel. 15 years later, I still refer to The Management Center\u2019s resources, and I\u2019m excited that <em>Management in a Changing World<\/em> builds on TMC\u2019s proven wisdom with fresh insights and frameworks. To create the change we want to see in the world, strong, nimble, strategic organizations are not only needed\u2014they&#8217;re mandatory.
