3.0 out of 5 starsChallenging but true5 May 2009

As an online doctoral learner, I was required to read this book for my "First Course." The thought processes required to gain any insight from the book are challenging, so say the least. Nonetheless, what the authors say is so true, compared to my own work environment. Model 1 behavior and thinking run rampant in American business culture. Why can't we all just get along? Because of our stinkin' thinkin'. Reading this book kept me from taking a promotion that would have eaten my sack lunch.
