Soundview Executive Book Summaries
Peter Block presents a useful guide through the challenging task of taking what is of personal value into an indifferent or often hostile corporate and cultural world. By raising awareness of the trade-offs we make for the sake of work and practicality, he offers hope for those who want more of what matters in life from the workplace, like idealism, intimacy, depth and engagement. His insights into organizational culture confront the role of leaders and managers, and redefine the purpose of work. Copyright (c) 2002 Soundview Executive Book Summaries
