Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Action inquiry" is the process of transformational learning that individuals (and even whole organizations) can undertake to better assess current dangers and opportunities, act in a timely manner, and make future visions come true. Through short stories of leadership and organizational changes in the areas of business, politics, health care, and education, this book illustrates how this process can increase personal integrity, improve relationships, and lead to company profitability and long-term success.

Book News Annotation:

Action inquiry is an approach to learning leadership in the midst of action. Torbert (management, Boston College) leads readers through strategies that lead readers to practice action inquiry continually. Speaking to everyone from new managers to CEOs and world leaders, he offers real-life stories of leadership and organizational transformations to show how action inquiry increases personal integrity, company profitability, and long-term organizational and environmental sustainability.
