From the Publisher
Library Journal April 1998
CALLING A HALT TO MINDLESS CHANGE: A Plea for Commonsense Management. Kudos to Macdonald, one of Britain's leading authorities on quality management, for his serious pause for reflection about the clutter of management ideas now competing for chief executive attention. Macdonald offers sobering advice to counter what he calls the mindless adoption of the new "-isms" and four-legged absolutes trumpeted by dancing elephants (management consultants) clamoring to be heard...Numerous examples of these "evolutionary organizations" help connect this treatise, which is an excellent aid in countering the din of management guru-babble filling the shelves in this crowded genre. Highly recommended.
