A Guide for Leading Change

by Robert E. Quinn

3/5

(22 votes)

Building the Bridge As You Walk On It tells the personal stories of people who have embraced deep change and inspired author Robert Quinn to take his concept one step further and develop a new model of leadership—“the fundamental state of leadership.

” The exploration of this transformative state is at the very heart of the book.

Quinn shows how anyone can enter the fundamental state of leadership by engaging in the eight practices that center on the theme of ever-increasing integrity—reflective action, authentic engagement, appreciative inquiry, grounded vision, adaptive confidence, detached interdependence, responsible freedom, and tough love.

After each chapter, Quinn challenges you to assess yourself with respect to each practice and to formulate a strategy for personal growth.

Needed for a class I'm taking at Georgetown University. Interesting book...

Great book. Buy and read "Deep Change, Discovering the Leader Within" (by the same author) before you read this one if you have a little extra time and money to invest.

Quinn does a good job of leadership thinking.
