"For every manager whose job is shifting into an unknown future. Jill offers the means and tools for all who enter the era of self-management." -Peter Block, author, The Empowered Manager and Stewardship, and founding partner, Designed Learning
"Jill Janov leads us on the path to the new organization forms required for the 21st century. The voice of clarity and courage is a call to all of us who have hope for the future." -Meg Wheatley, author of Leadership and the New Science
"At last, the book we need to get us through the current chaotic transition.... The Inventive Organization is about doing business as if people mattered." -Michael L. Ray, professor, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University, and coauthor of Creativity in Business
"Should be thought-provoking for any manager interested in seeing an organization achieve its highest potential."
"Unlike many of today's most popular business tomes, Janov doesn't rattle off a different way to implement the management philosophy du jour. Rather she asks readers to think--think about the quality of the relationships they have with the producers, customers, and colleagues with whom they associate. And she asks them to think about how these relationships could be improved to help their organizations sustain success.", Training and Development
