Founding Editors William Taylor and Alan Webber started this
magazine with two fundamental propositions: there is a new world
of business evolving, and there is a community committed to new
ways of working, competing, living and growing. The magazine
writes about the new economy and workplace for people who
believe in fusing tough-minded performance with sane human
values. We give you real tools to solve real problems. Over the
past two years, that vision has evolved into a movement. We've
heard from fans who swear to read each issue cover-to-cover.
We've introduced readers to models and mentors from fast
companies all over the world. And we've launched the debate
about work and life in the new economy. And starting in August,
we're going monthly.
