Truly and Epiphany
(Houston, TX USA) January 11, 2003 - 5.0/5 stars

I work in an environment that should have this book plastered all over the doors, walls, and ceilings anywhere that managers meet.

Dysfunctional is a not a good enough word to describe the place, t's more like "toxic".
However I am a manager, and I like to look at the solution rather than focus solely on the problem, and I see where we went wrong, or where we go wrong everyday.

This book makes me recognize my role, both good and bad in contributing to the toxic environment in which I work: I don't hold anyone accountable, and I allow unacceptable behavior go un-checked.

and from time-to-time I wallow in victimization which is just as bad as victimizing or rolling my eyes, or not participating in the process.

If you are not a part of the solution then you are part of the problem.
Every manager at every level, in every business should read tnis book twice, and then sit down and make happen what Kathryn made happen at DecisionTech.
