Episode 9: Rosabeth Moss Kanter - biography
Rosabeth Moss Kanter was once listed by the London Times newspaper as one of the fifty most powerful women in the world. Yet she commands nothing except ideas.
Not yet sixty, Kanter has been writing books of great insight for a long time, and the latest one may be her best yet. It is called 'e-Volve!'.
She is a sociologist by training and it shows. She looks at organizations as communities and cultures. Professor Kanter's current research is on the development of new leadership for the digital age.
She also runs a successful consultancy business, Goodmeasure Inc., whose consulting clients include some of the world's most prominent companies. Goodmeasure is currently developing Web-based versions of Kanter's leadership and change tools, to help embed them in the daily work of organizations everywhere.
