A passion for excellence

Description:

A revolution is on, and managers in every field are rethinking the tried and, as it turns out, not so true management principles that have often served their institutions poorly. At the heart of revolutions, historically, there have been no more than a handful of people. But now it's time to enter another phase. The zeal to do something is clear. But the question remains: Who's doing much of anything differently? And that's not even the most important question. The most important is: How many have sustained the new "it?" A Passion of Excellence is not a how-to book in the traditional sense -- there are no step-by-step guides. It is not a book on theory. It is rather an avowed Whitman's Sampler of the passion for excellence observed and celebrated. Each chapter tells paradoxical tales of obsession in pursuing both detail and a dream. Each has scores of examples, as well as suggestions for practical actions that you can start immediately. Each stands essentially alone, which means you don't have to read them in order. - Jacket.
