520 $aA great deal of time, effort, and money is spent in tinkering with organizations while very little is invested in trying to discover exactly what is wrong with them. Working in and with a variety of organizations has shown me that most changes are ill-conceived, rarely shared with those affected, and seldom followed through with much conviction. This leads to problems with which we are all too familiar, such as disillusioned employees and utter bafflement among those who initiated the change and wonder why people are not overjoyed and enthusiastic. This book can help you to avoid these problems by providing a way of helping to identify those aspects of your organization that need changing. The book also helps to dispel false assumptions. The activities in this book are practical and useful tools that most managers can easily handle. Initially some activities may appear strange and even flippant, but when applied to the right situation they are very powerful. The flexibility of the book makes it useful to different groups of people and enables it to be used in a variety of ways. Managers can read all or part of it to gain more insight into organizations, use it as part of an overall change program, or select certain sections or activities to deal with particular problems.
