"Stuart Crainer's book is the most thoughtful, complete, and wonderful summary of the prevailing currents of 20th century management thought and practice. It is not only a rearview-mirror look but also portends where the next century may well take us. I await the new millennium with much more certainty than I did before reading this book." --Warren Bennis, distinguished professor of business administration, Uni-versity of Southern California; author, On Becoming a Leader; co-author, Organizing Genius
