Résumé

Kenneth Cloke and Joan Goldsmith have been on a tireless crusade-working with organizations to address problems that arise from dysfunctional management systems. In this book-the latest in the Warren Bennis Signature series-Cloke and Goldsmith call for a radical set of organizational development initiatives that will combat the destructive forces of globalization, promote sustainable forms of organizational life, and move organizations to "organizational democracy." It is filled with useful suggestions for creating vibrant value-based organizations. The authors outline the practical opportunities, alternatives, and models that organizations can adopt to encourage diversity, self-management, dissent, and ownership and, therefore, become truly democratic institutions. Weaving together major management themes-collaborative process, values, 360-degree feedback-as well as proposing radical new initiatives such as democratically electing CEOs, they create a truly new and refreshing call to action that places the responsibility for change on the managers and the employees.
