weLEAD Book Review from the Editor of leadingtoday.org,

This review is from: The New Agreements in the Workplace: Releasing the Human Spirit (The New Agreements in the Workplace, 1) (Paperback)
The New Agreements in the Workplace resulted from the personal experience of author David Dibble and his own transformation from that of selfish indulgence to self-fulfillment. As a wealthy CEO, his personal life literally crashed and his following journey toward self-discovery prompted him to write this book. Dibble clearly understands that the modern workplace is riddled with ineffectiveness and complacency generated by fear. Many other authors and consultants have proposed a new agreement, or alternative culture in the modern workplace including Robert Greenleaf, Peter Drucker, Peter Block and many others. This book proposes a dramatic change in the workplace influenced by the author's own journey, and personal interest in systems theory and Toltec spirituality. He believes the book will help one discover a "revolutionary idea that is desperately needed in the modern business world: love." The influence of Toltec was most prominently introduced to the public by DON Miguel Ruiz, author of two best selling books. He also writes an introduction in this work.
The New Agreements in the Workplace is a short publication that you can read in one or two sittings. All eight chapters are well organized as Dibble outlines 5 proposed New Agreements in the Workplace and quickly weaves them together. Many of the ideas in this book are similar to servant-leadership principles but with more of a definite spiritual edge. The only major weakness in the book is that not enough detail is given to define and explore the new agreements in a culture that is presently contrary to its ideals! It is easy to make an enlightened statement and express new found knowledge, but how to implement that knowledge to produce change in the real world is the hard part. If you are not into spirituality or resist rather vague concepts, The New Agreements in the Workplace may not appeal to you. But, if you are looking for a book that offers a sensitive and alternative approach to problem-solving in the workplace, it may be a profound journey.

This review is from: The New Agreements in the Workplace: Releasing the Human Spirit (The New Agreements in the Workplace, 1) (Paperback)
I ordered this book and was told the book was shipped June 11th. To date I have never received either the book or a response from Amazon or Jorgitas Books (the distributer) even though I have followed up several times. Service from both companies is dispicable and is another reason more of us are turning to other book sources unless they fall into more common titles. I gave up trying now to ever get the book or recover my money.

Selling With Intent,
By kevin f. murray (cheshire, ct United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Agreements in the Workplace: Releasing the Human Spirit (The New Agreements in the Workplace, 1) (Paperback)
I am the CEO of a small design/build energy conservation business. My company has worked to integrate the Four Agreements over the last 2 yours. Recently we began working with The New Agreements and we have seen profound changes in sales in addition to a re-energizing of our overall approach to work. After reading the book and attending a workshop (and our new VP Sales also attended a workshop with David Dibble) we made some dramatic changes in our sales and marketing systems. We began to "love, grow and serve" our customers with much more awareness. Well, since the workshops, we've done as much business in the last 45 days as we have all year. And with a lot of fun and great attention to our customers. For anyone interested in revitalizing their business, their employees, or their relationships with clients, I highly recommend this book.
