Reviews
Always disturbing if a boss recommends a book to you that has the theme, "How to cut your own throat," as the title for the first chapter.
It was an interesting browse and overview on the topic of bringing about change. Specifically it highlights the unintended or not foreseen consequences of promoting change.
Observations book makes
Page 53 In talking of the effectiveness of those selling technology that fuelled change in the farming industry between 1935 and 1970 he notes, They did not try show more to “sell” radically new ideas to reluctant farmers. They responded with constructive suggestions to felt needs.”
Page 56 “One choice is between acting as an innovator and seeking to press for change through the introduction and implementation of new ideas or acting as a facilitator of change and seeking to increase the degree of openness to innovation in the entire organization. While the two are not mutually incompatible roles, they are distinctly different and since both are time consuming, it is unlikely one person will function effectively in both roles at the same point in history.”

Why do Christian who believe in evangelism not want to make the changes necessary for it?
