Synopsis
In order to understand managerial effectiveness, says Robert E. Quinn, we must move beyond the theories of rational management and begin to better understand the dynamic, paradoxical, and competing forces that block us from high performance. In this book, Quinn draws on his extensive research on leadership, change, and organizational performance to provide a new way of thinking about management that helps business and government leaders make sense of the complexities and contradictions of organizational life. Offering rich stories and insights from business, sports, and public administration, he explains how - by learning to embrace and transcend paradoxes - managers can come to see new possibilities for structuring organizations, designing jobs, and solving daily problems., Draws together extensive research on leadership, change, and organizational performance to help leaders make sense of the complexities and contradictions of organizational life., Draws together extensive research on leadership, change, and organizational performance to help leaders make sense of the complexities and contradictions of organizational life.

- v***v (2063)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
