Within management thinking, behaviours have become repetitive, and organizational performance is stagnant or declining. We need to engage with each other as individuals. The author proposes new ways of harnessing people's storytelling instincts and capabilities to create a new medium of professional communication and collaboration
"This is a very stimulating book -- it challenges many of the current tenets of management thinking. By highlighting the interdependence that exists between us all, it opens up new ways of making sense of the world and new ways of behaving. Recommended as a thought provoking read!" Vivienne Cox, Executive Vice President, BP.
