Description
In this empowering book, Robert E. Quinn, author of the highly successful and influential Deep Change, gives readers the courage to use personal transformation to positively impact their home life, work life, and communities -- to be what he refers to as "inner-directed and outer-focused." We are all potential change agents, but most of us are trapped by belief that we as individuals cannot make a difference. Informed by the teachings of Jesus, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr. -- three of show more the most successful change agents ever -- Quinn outlines eight steps each of us can take to move ourselves and others to the highest levels of excellence. Following his advice, each of us can access and apply the power that lies within us in ways that will change our world for the better. show lessTags

This book is wonderful for people who don't mind a lot of theory. Quinn doesn't present the 'eight-step agenda for making change happen,' as described on the back cover, at least not in as much of a recipe-type style as implied by that description.
He recognizes that personal change and organizational change are complex processes. His writing doesn't pretend that it is going to be easy or simple to change ourselves, or to make an impact on those around us.
I found this book to not be an easy read, but well worth the effort of getting what Quinn had to say.
