Deep Change: Discovering the Leader Within (Jossey-Bass Business & Management)

DON'T LET YOUR COMPANY KILL YOU!

For anyone who yearns to be an internally driven leader, to encourage and motivate the people around them, and to return to a full and satisfying work life, Deep Change holds the key.

"Control is a fundamental issue for every successful manager-and both personal and organizational change involve giving it up. Deep Change gets to the heart of this issue and brilliantly guides the reader down the path to personal and organizational transformation."
-Jerry I. Porras, Lane Professor of Organizational Behavior and Change, Stanford Business School, and coauthor of Built to Last

"Quinn clearly explains the urgent need of today's leaders to understand and implement change or else face a certain, slow death.... Deep Change motivates its readers to embrace change, not fear it."
-David R. Whitwam, chairman and CEO, Whirlpool Corporation

"Beautifully written and filled with practical exercises and personal reflections. Open this book at your own risk: it contains 'subversive' ideas that might encourage you to change."
-Warren Bennis, University Professor and Distinguished Professor of Business Administration, University of Southern California, and founding chairman of the Leadership Institute

"Should be mandatory reading for every business leader seeking the strength, direction, energy, and inspiration to shape organizational transformation. Quinn is a master storyteller and teacher, and his work is a spiritual journey of discovery that illuminates and empowers the visionary leader in all of us."
-Thomas C. Jones, president, CIGNA Individual Insurance

"A fascinating book, with a rare wisdom not only about the real difficulties of organizational change, but also about solutions. Essentially practical, yet philosophical, with real-life examples that bring heady material down to earth."
-Nigel Freedman, deputy director company training, Philips Electronics, The Netherlands
