Who would not want to be part of a high commitment, high performance organisation? And if you feel that your organisation could get there but isn't just yet, what can you do to get it there?
I find this an exceptional book as it provides a very strong conceptual framework which is at the same time grounded in a full career of consulting experience together with an academic background. I found it not the most easy read, but always compelling. The strength of this book is more in the excellent framework which brings all the essential components together. I have read books on the same topic which are able to provide some great insights and concepts but always lack the overall view that you need to bring the different pieces together. I think the author achieves doing this in this book and illustrates the concepts by referring to actual cases he witnessed through his career.
Very glad I have read this book.

This book is reminiscent of Good to Great by Jim Collins. But, I did not find it as compelling or intersting. THere are many examples of companies who have defied bad leadership or low productivity. What I found lacking was that despite having the word reszilience in the title, there does not appear ot be mention of hnow resilience as a personal trait or personality characteristic can assist organizations.
