The Beauty of the Beast

Reviewing more than 30 years of work with organizations, Geoffrey Bellman offers his insight into the nature of these beasts in all their madness, mystery, wretchedness, and wonderfulness -- and points the way out of the whole chaotic mess. He suggests that by recognizing the beast in themselves, readers will feel less distant from -- and more responsible for creating and improving -- these troubling structures.Bellman combines the beauty and beast aspects of organizations into 20 renewal and redesign principles that teach how to embrace the organizational world while working hard to change it.
