You'll note our reference to Human Resources and the term HR. We are viewing this area in its broadest sense, inclusive of the HR, Learning, and OD disciplines practiced today. Essentially, this book is written for people who work in the people side of any organization - for profit, not-for-profit, and public. This book is written from the perspective of someone who works within an organization, whether that organization is small or large. However, most of the techniques and practices are relevant to those individuals who work externally in a consultative role.

"This book is like having your own strategy coach in the room with you, always accessible and offering wise advice and counsel. It's packed with illustrative cases, quick quizzes, practical applications, and handy tools that make this book immediately useful."
--Jim Kouzes, coauthor of the bestselling The Leadership Challenge
