Recensione:

"Harvey′s meditations are a joy. They are the most exquisite essays on management that I′ve read in over a decade. In fact, this is the only book about management that I′ve really loved." ––Warren Bennis, coauthor of Leaders: The Strategies for Taking Charge and author of Why Leaders Can′t Lead

"Jerry Harvey has become a legAnd in his own time with the success of The Abilene Paradox––a principle of group behavior that has application in corporations, government, academia, and family alike. Now he takes aim at a host of other sacred organizational norms and, in succession, dismantles each. You′ll smile at his insight and laugh at his wit." ––Kenneth H. Blanchard, coauthor of The One–Minute Manager
