"This book draws from experience to create a path of light and logic through the most difficult of business territories-the territory of change. The authors maintain careful balance between the academic and the pragmatic, but with the obvious passion for the need to do something to bring the human element back into the world of work." Sir Colin Marshall, Chairman of British Airways and President of the CBI.
"For anyone interested in organizational transformation and the human spirit engaged in that pursuit, this is the book not just to read but to have by one's side. This book has the conceptual depth, the gift of clarity and the practical examples that should make it required reading for every leader." Professor Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Business Administration, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA and author of Organizing Genius.
