This is a book about the causes and the consequences of the increasingly complex social milieu one finds in and around business corporations, law firms, governmental agencies, and other types of organizations which,collectively,employ nearly all of us nowadays.It has been written to draw additional attention to some issues that I think are terribly important and to provide assistance to the many people who are trying to foster excellence,innovation,and responsiveness in their organizations,despite the many forces that promote bureaucracy,parochial politics,and destructive power struggles.
