Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Harvey, an academic and researcher engaged in exploring ethical, moral, and spiritual issues of organizations, presents his theories on organizational behavior and effective management. Coming from a family of storytellers, he uses stories to cover a wide variety of topics, including a description of anaclitic depression, which is depression experienced by many in organizations that are incompetently led. He also offers thoughts on group behavior and the need to find scapegoats; the dynamics of standing for something rather than not getting involved; the role of prayer in organizational behavior; and the common human need to belong. His unusual approach to organizational issues captures a reader's attention and gives Harvey a platform to express his beliefs, which are worthy of consideration. As he promises, this is a far more effective presentation than offering a list of prescriptions for personal and organizational success. Mary Whaley
Review
"Jerry Harvey has the uncanny ability of observing the ordinary yet seeing the extraordinary. His insights are both provocative and useful, no common combination. Reading this book, you will learn to see the world through another lens." (W. Warner Burke)
"Here are real organizational worlds both terrifying and hilarious, where people say and do things that they don't do anywhere else, and feel things that they don't feel anywhere else, and fortunately Jerry Harvey is there, too, to record it, reflect on it, and help us learn from it. Bless him!" (Peter Vaill, professor and holder of the Distinguished Chair in Management Education, University of St. Thomas, Minnesota)
"A decade ago, Jerry Harvey's Abilene Paradox indelibly entered the lexicon as a metaphor for unproductive group behavior. Now, he's identified an equally damaging-and paradoxical-pattern of individual self-destruction. And, once again, he offers the same invaluable prescription: Tell the truth to everyone?especially yourself. Ah, if only this time we will listen." (James O'Toole, author, Leadership A to Z)
