Since 1949, the Hazleden Foundation has been a leading practitioner of the Twelve Steps recovery model of Alcoholics Anonymous. Now Hazelden expands the application of the Twelve Steps to business and personal change.

Ken Blanchard, Co-author of The One Minute Manager and Leadership By The Book '12 Step Wisdom at Work does a brilliant job of describing how the wisdom of the 12 Step process can not only transform the lives of individuals but of organizations as well.
