5.0 out of 5 stars This book rocked the foundations of our organization, 15 April 1999

By A Customer

As executive staff to a volunteer board, our turf wars and inability to communicate were hamstringing the efforts of our organization, and grinding staff work to a halt. This book allowed many light bulbs to go off about our inadvertent (and not!) behavior, and we even got the author in to moderate a session. Every single one of us realized what were doing to add to the problems, and how we could stop.

5.0 out of 5 stars saw behavior in a new way, 16 Oct 1997

By A Customer

I now recognize behavior that I was unaware of in the past. Also, I can see what I do as a manager that increases or decreases territoriality. This type of behavior is such a drain and hurts people's effectiveness and productivity. I think this should get a lot of discussion in organizations.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the most important management books of this decade, 10 Oct 1997

By A Customer

Annette Simmons has written one of the most important (and fun to read) management books of this decade. The subject matter makes it an important book. Simmons' style make it unique among management books. This book compares very well to "It Takes Two" by Gene Boccialetti (Jossey-Bass, 1995); in both books, the information is immediately useful in the real world. Using an adaptation of the "games" model in Transactional Analysis, Simmons takes us through the Territorial Games played in organizations very clearly and simply. As you progress through the book you will find yourself saying, "been there, done that." At the end, when you are ready to ask, "So What?" she suggests ways to stop playing the games. Because of her clear style in both writing and thinking, I hope she'll be writing another book...soon. This book is a good read for managers at any level. It will be around for a long time.
