This review is from: If It's Broken, You Can Fix It: Overcoming Dysfunction in the Workplace (Hardcover)
During my long working career I have partcipated in numerous courses, got advice from the best consultants and read lots of complicated theories. This is the first book that gives clear and practical advice to identify and solve the problems of an dysfunctional organization. I recommend Jones's book warmly to everyone who is interested in improving the quality of the activity of his organization.

Lightbulb ON!,
By Nancy Scheel (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: If It's Broken, You Can Fix It: Overcoming Dysfunction in the Workplace (Hardcover)
I believe that any reader will easily recognize the corporate situations that the author describes - it's the stuff we live with every day at work. The "aha!" comes along with the author's insightful discussions of HOW and WHY these situations come to exist, and why they are so very frustrating. But the best part is the practical "here's what you can do about it" discussions. This book shows you how you can have some impact, how these situations can be addressed constructively.

If It's Broken, You Can Fix It,

This review is from: If It's Broken, You Can Fix It: Overcoming Dysfunction in the Workplace (Hardcover)
Excellent book for the OD professional and the manager alike. In his usual very effective style, Dr. Jones' "lessons" are very readable, practical, and understandable, with just the right mix of humor, metaphors and stories. His use of actual experiences serve to effectively demonstrate the "real-life" usefulness and value of the techniques he describes. Every organization experiences dysfunction, to one degree or another, and can, therefore, benefit from the guidance Dr. Jones provides in this book.
