Out of the Shadows Managing Self-employed

Over half of all people working on behalf of any given organization are typically not their own employees. Little attention has been paid to how these 'non-employees' are managed, motivated and meaningfully engaged. This book demonstrates that non-employees are often the organization's most important hidden resource.
