Change I-Thinking to WE-Thinking and Build a Healthy, Thriving Organization
Read offline
Recommendation
Management consultant Judith E. Glaser helps organizations deal with change and challenges. She describes real companies and managers and shares stories about how they worked through critical issues. While her narratives are instructive, albeit peppered with “I” and “WE” jargon, the process of changing organizational beliefs and attitudes isn’t quick or easy. To address it, Glaser shows the difference between I-thinking and “WE-thinking,” and provides tools leaders can use to instill a WE-oriented corporate ethos. Although changing an organization’s culture takes great patience, managers who study this book’s concepts will be able to boost their companies’ productivity, adaptability, and internal cooperation – over time.
