"Insights on Management"

The Adizes blog, which is posted at least once a week on the Adizes Institute website (http://www.adizes.com/blog/?cat=1) and sent by e-mail to thousands of subscribers, began life in 2003 as a monthly column called "Insights." They were, literally, insights, rather than the products of scientific research. I dared to say what I thought. In doing so, I opened myself up to criticism. And that is what I got: Many people wrote to say they disagreed with one or more of my observations or conclusions. But they kept reading, because what I wrote made them think. And that is exactly what I set out to achieve. In this book-the second of a series-all of the essays deal with managing organizations. The ideas often evolved out of something I saw, heard, or felt as I consulted to hundreds of companies, governments, and other organizations around the world. Then, in light of the response from readers, I often rethought my Insights, re-edited, rewrote, or updated them. In their new, book-length form, I believe these Insights will continue to stir thought and debate.
