I have taken a few days before writing a review for this text, and even now it will be brief. I am in the middle of the road on it. The content is solid, and the the text is a helpful and thoughtful treatise on being contextually sensitive when leading change efforts. I used the book in a course from a strategic leadership program. My students had missed feelings as well. Context is difficult to describe succinctly, and my students and I often felt the text could have been tightened up.
I am glad I read this book. It has the feel of one of those texts to which I'll frequently turn. I hope I'm right.
