Our complex and changing environment requires people and organizations to continuously adapt and improve for the hope of promising futures. Important trends with human behavior in organizations include importance of connections and networks, commitment to ethical behavior, broader views of leadership, emphasis on human capital and teamwork, demise of command and control, influence of information technology, respect for new workforce expectations, changing concepts of careers, and concern for sustainability.
