Product Description
Review
"Harveys meditations are a joy. They are the most exquisite essays on management that Ive read in over a decade. In fact, this is the only book about management that Ive really loved." Warren Bennis, coauthor of Leaders: The Strategies for Taking Charge and author of Why Leaders Cant Lead

"Jerry Harvey has become a legAnd in his own time with the success of The Abilene Paradoxa principle of group behavior that has application in corporations, government, academia, and family alike. Now he takes aim at a host of other sacred organizational norms and, in succession, dismantles each. Youll smile at his insight and laugh at his wit." Kenneth H. Blanchard, coauthor of The OneMinute Manager

Product Description
Faulty decisionmaking can have dire consequences, and when it comes to group decisions, the challenges are even greater. Join Dr. Jerry B. Harvey as he clearly illustrates why no organization wants to find themselves goin to Abilene.
See how group dynamics can keep individuals from stating their true beliefs for fear of isolation and separation, and how that often leads to mismanaged agreement.
Youll learn to recognize the warning signs of risky group dynamics and improve decisionmaking processes throughout your organization.
