Fast Company’s Generation Flux – New Business Pioneers

by Sheila Hensley

Generation Flux (full title below), is a series of interviews and profiles written by Robert Safian, editor at Fast Company which offers the reader a glimpse of our next generation of influential business leaders.

I read profile after profile; so interested in how they got where they are and fascinated by their process.  You’ll find their stories shocking while at the same time refreshing.  You may even be left with a feeling of confidence that the business world is actually in pretty good hands.

Many who are excited about the massive change technology brings to personal and business lives are also overwhelmed.  Trust me, these men and women are not overwhelmed!  They are locked in overdrive and focused. They embrace change as their sustenance.

Read each profile to get the full experience and on the right side of each profile, notice the list of people each person profiled added to the group as Generation Flux pioneers.

This Is Generation Flux: Meet The Pioneers Of The New (And Chaotic) Frontier Of Business is the full article – long but very important that you endure to the end.  But if you just read the profiles of each in this group, you’ll get the feeling I described before.

I’d like to know how reading these profiles affected your feelings about the future of business as it changes.  The 41 comments on the original article were for or totally against the representation but most seemed to be written by advanced and knowledgeable participants in the conversation .

Good comments make the article so please leave me your thoughts.  I particular want to hear from people working in their businesses day to day, just trying to stay in business.
