Book description
Praise for Transforming Your Leadership Culture
"If you are a leader who has been burned by the failure of
traditional change managementÂ-remember that program that cost
millions and didn't change a thingÂ-this is the book for you. It
provides a wholly new perspective for transforming leaders and your
organization's culture simultaneously, and rapidly." Â-Michael
Beer, chairman, TruePoint, and professor emeritus, Harvard Business School
"John McGuire and Gary Rhodes provided solid support as we
transformed our company from a top-down, do-your-job-because-I-said-so
culture to a collaborative learning community of leaders within a
process-centered organization. I cannot imagine having done it without
them."Â-Loyal Peterman, president and founder, Abrasive
Technology, Inc.
"It is becoming more and more obvious that a developmental view
of the human being is the core of any effective human change process.
Transforming Your Leadership Culture is the latest bookÂ-and one of
the best booksÂ-about how and why this is so, and how to implement it
in your own business. Highly recommended!" Â-Ken Wilber, founder,
Integral Institute, and author of The Integral Vision and Integral Psychology
"The path to creating a genuine leadership culture in
organizations is perhaps the deepest mystery of organizing. McGuire
and Rhodes have carefully documented the actual paths taken by some of
the very few companies that have successfully transformed toward
interdependence together. Transforming Your Leadership Culture maps
the process into the heart of this mystery." Â-Bill Torbert,
management professor emeritus, Boston College
"I had hoped that creating a high-performance organization could
happen swiftly with a few powerful speeches and actions. The
challenging truth is that creating an interdependent spirit and
culture demands perseverance. Indeed, this is what sets the committed
few apart from the massesÂ-and the results are extraordinary!"
Â-Vance Tang, president and CEO, KONE Inc.
