Following is a description:
Written in the form of an allegory and creatively illustrated, this book begins with a fresh voice, a new song, a love song emerging out of the rubble – a crumbling institution, in need of restitution, Revolution!
It’s Minstrel guided narrative takes the reader, entertainingly, inspirationally and educationally, through the life cycle of an institution, be it familial, corporate, political or ecclesiastical in nature. Along the way, danger signs are posted at critical change points within the cycle, designed as warning signals for the institutional traveler. How one responds to change is a predictor of whether or not the institution will rise or fall.
This little parabolic adventure is about leadership and the dangers of monument building – where process, bigness, status quo and control become more important than the mission. The world today is replete with examples, a sampling of them suggested in the Postlude. Among them are Google, Microsoft, General Motors, Catholicism and Protestantism. Discover where you and your institution(s) fit within the cycle?
Out of the Rubble…Revolution! is “An Allegory of Monumental Disproportions” and a “must” resource for leaderships seminars, training and conferences at every level. And it makes an insightful bedside companion no matter where you fit in the corporate- institutional hierarchy.
