Useful advice for any business leader.
14 Aug 1998
Format:Paperback
This should be considered a classic in business literature. I found it very useful designing workshops to help corporate leaders breathe life into stodgy mission statements. The use of mission to motivate employees is rarely achieved, and this book helps you understand why.

This is the third book that I purchased on the subject of Corporate Cultures; with the same authors. Their first publication of The New Corpotate Culture Rites and Rituals was excellent! The editional publications of the authors including the revision of Corporate Cultures Rites and Rituals is on management, it has very good references of the large top 500 companies. this too is good reading.
