Deep Change by Robert Quinn
Robert Quinn’s book, published a year ago, promises to be an enlightening and inspirational read that goes beyond a narrow, superficial definition of ‘change management’ to examining how we can become change agents for ourselves and our organizations. Online reviewers call it “life-changing”, “leavened with practical examples and exercises”, “mandatory reading”, “inspirational”, and appropriate for those “willing to engage in extended self-examination.” Our copy of Deep Change just arrived from the publisher, and I’ll be putting some otherwise unproductive bus-and-plane travel time to practical use by reading it for our next Sage Portfolio Group book review, to be published later in September. Will I end the summer of ‘07 as an “internally driven leader” who has been “transformed from victim to powerful agent of change”? Stay tuned to find out.
