Excellent, highly recommend
This is an excellent approach to taking an organization that has "dysfunctional" tendencies and getting them to work together. Although it is set in a manufacturing plant, I dont see any reason that it wont work in any setting. I've suggested it to three of my friends. It is just a different take on a common problem.

great book, dead easy to understand
The logic and deep understanding of this book is incontestable, and it has implications well beyond the limits of the business world. Yet will those who read this dare to implement its iconoclastic observations? This is the most credible formula I have ever seen for creating the conditions necessary to extract the very best performance, individually and collectively, from any group of individuals. Let us hope, at this time when we drastically need to re-appraise the way that we interact with each other in business and other environments, that books as important as Immelman's are given the widespread respect and utilisation that they deserve...

Unravelling the enigma in the riddle of motivation
Ray has done every organisational leader a great service by providing a framework for understanding the riddle wrapped in an enigma that is leadership. His insights into our tribal behaviour and how the dynamic of individual and collective security and value can not only be understood, but practically applied to the betterment of all, raises the bar for all interested in the field of group dynamics. His decision to use the form of a novel as the vehichle for the explanation of his insights makes them accessible and easily understood, whilst not diluting the power of the ideas themselves. I have always wondered how you can get a group of people with different and varied affiliations to not only work for the common good, but actually want to excel at doing so. In Great Boss Dead Boss, Ray shows the reader some high leverage answers to the question. The book, written in a captivating prose style, follows the protagonist Greg's journey of discovery, mentored by the crusty, wise Butch. In the storyline are countless nuggets of wisdom and insight which would serve well anyone who aspires to a position of leadership. Similar Products
