Work Without Managers punctured the underbelly of a complacent society that knew something was wrong but didn't know how to frame the problem much less identify the problem's particulars. When it was published, it immediately generated reaction. National Public Radio's ""All Things Considered"" devoted an entire segment to the book. Industry Week named Work Without Managers one of the ""ten best business books of 1991,"" and summarized its message. The Business Book Review Journal named Work one of the four best books in its genre of industrial & organizational psychology. The journal went on to say, ""It is in our opinion that Fisher has more than accomplished his goal to stimulate discussion and debate, and that Work promises to foster a controversy that will be instrumental in affecting a fundamental change in the ""American workplace"". Syndicated columnist James R. Wright of The Dallas Morning News wrote, ""I find Work the most insightful and perceptive examination of the American workforce today."" The Business Perspective of Innsbruck, Austria said in its review of Work Without Managers that ""Dr. Fisher argues the key to the future is the empowerment of professional workers. The suggestions made here are bound to spark controversy on all levels of organization and therefore should be high on the reading list of anyone interested in understanding the present day American business dilemma.""
