Synopsis

In this new and revised edition of Personal and Organizational Transformations; Through Action Inquiry, the authors offer dozens of up-close cases of organizational members, executives, and consultants learning how to transform themselves, their relationships and groups, and whole organizations through their own inquiries in action. The book is intended not just to illuminate the leadership and organizational quandaries we often find ourselves in, but to serve as a companion as we imagine and experiment with new leadership practices, whatever our current role may be.
