12 step wisdom at work - William C Hammond

Since 1949, the Hazleden Foundation has been a leading practitioner of the Twelve Steps recovery model of Alcoholics Anonymous. Now Hazelden expands the application of the Twelve Steps to business and personal change. Here is a radically holistic investigation of both the business organization as an evolving organism, and how values-driven transformation can affect permanent change in an individual's life and work. '12 Step Wisdom at Work is a wonderfully delightful collection of inspiring stories from some of the best minds in business today.' Ken Blanchard, Co-author of The One Minute Manager and Leadership By The Book '12 Step Wisdom at Work does a brilliant job of describing how the wisdom of the 12 Step process can not only transform the lives of individuals but of organizations as well. It demonstrates through the stories of individuals how their own transformative experiences can empower them to create lasting improvement in their organizations.' William W George, Chairman and CEO, Medtronic Inc. '12 Step Wisdom at Work provides a solid foundation for taking a great leap forward.;The approach it ushers in will allow organizations to be better designed and more successful. The spirit it purveys will allow leaders and followers alike to achieve a healthy, meaningful existence.' Ian I Mitroff, Harold Quinton Distinguished Professor of Business Policy, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California
