Organizational Culture and Leadership (The Jossey-Bass Business & Management Series) 5th Edition, Kindle Edition

Interesting, great read, good information! Great price

Had to purchase book for doctoral program. Great information! Will use for future reference and encouragement.

A very good book that provides the basis for culture, but some times very repetitive. I expected more cases to illustrated more the context of the reading.

Arrived quickly and in perfect condition

Great book in helping to understand how organizations work

Great book. References almost all the culture authors and tools, great reading, strongly recommended for change leaders and change professionals.

The read is amazing, in my opinion; however, the book is in pieces. I would that the shipper would send me a replacement book. If not, I will need to re-purchase from another vendor.

I love the vision that Mr. Schein paints. The vision of a Learning Organization that espouses:1. Proactivity2. Commitment to “Learning to Learn”3. Positive assumptions about Human Nature4. Belief that the environment could be managed5. Commitment to truth through Inquiry and dialogue6. Positive Orientation toward the future7. Commitment to Full and Open Task-relevant communication8. Commitment to full cultural diversity9. Commitment to Systemic Thinking10. Belief in the value of internal cultural analysis.

If you're looking for a comprehensive book to understand organizational culture, look no further. Schein is the defacto god of culture! His book provides the foundational building blocks to everything you'll need to know on culture. Enjoy!

Muy buen libro

Prof. Edgar Schein explains the fundamental concepts and structure of organizational culture extremely well and with powerful corporate examples.

I have worked with organizational culture for almost 4 years. This has been the best book I have ever read in the topic. It gives insight of the social sciences nature of culture and translates it into an organizational context. A mindset creating book with cases to enlighten how it looks like in the real world.For organizational culture enthusiasts and culture influencing leaders. Not a read for enjoying or killing time with inspirational cultures.

"Culture is ... an abstraction that refers to lots of concrete things such as structure, process, beliefs, values, and behavior."As a leader or coach, helping my teams adopt and adapt (and adapt to) more agile ways to work together, I want to understand their current culture. This insight will help me anticipate at least some of the resistance to any quick-win ideas that I can offer because the culture will set limits on what will be accepted.For longer-term change I want to find what drives any existing evolution in the culture so that I can influence the speed and direction of change. I want to understand how I can motivate and sustain progress to more effective behaviours and processes.This book explains through many case studies and references to academic work both why it is important to explicitly understand culture, proposes a "learning culture" as an appropriate model for the 21st century, and finally offers a general framework for successful cultural change.I found this book via a reference in the Agendashift: Outcome-oriented change and continuous transformation. Agendashift describes a practical framework of outcome-oriented workshops and a process to manage transformational change. A very helpful implementation of many of Schein's ideas.
