This is a wonderful, easy read about how to think about leadership, management, and your own personal development.  Sam presents a framework, using a fun and well-known story to bring a simple set of concepts to life.  While you may be tempted to feel this is an over-simplification of a complex topic, you will find the "Move Toward, Move Away From, and Move Against" model is a very robust paradigm for thinking about dealing with people, managing complex issues, resolving conflict, and address significant challenges and opportunities.

His examples are effective in helping you think of your own experiences and how to apply the model to your professional and personal interactions with others.  Seeking balance is always a good thing, but Sam provides a simple set of guidelines for what that really means, and how that might change with different circumstances.  Whether using this as a tool for a leadership team, a group of peers, or for your own personal growth, it will be time well invested.

"Whole Scale Change: Unleashing the Magic in Organizations" and "Whole Scale Change Toolkit" introduce straightforward, systematic, and applicable approaches to successfully achieving effective change in human organizations.  While most people acknowledge that changes are necessary and also recognize that changes are often resisted, based on the low success rate of effective change, few people appear to understand the dynamics of achieving progressive change.  In the context of human organizations as functioning systems, Dannemiller Tyson Associates: define the dynamics of organization al change, acknowledge to forces for and against change, recommend constitutes whose collaboration and support must be earned, and describe practical processes for planning, executing, and institutionalizing organizational changes.  To earn the reader's confidence, the authors use real world examples that demonstrate how "whole scale change" has worked in everyday organizations.

I highly recommended "Whole Scale Change: Unleashing the Magic in Organizations" and "Whole Scale Change Toolkit" for everyone working to achieve change in their organizations.

In keeping with the concept of the series it's part of this book is a tightly written summary of how to enhance performance.  It is easy to read, brief and to the point.

The book reviews three essential components, stated as goals: 1) Define performance in actionable (and measureable) terms, 2) Measure the right things and use the right measures, 3) Reward the right things using the right rewards.  It thus covers more ground than the basic title implies, which serves to focus attention on the interrelatedness of these components.  Focus is a key gift of this book as it flows promptly through the subject matter to an action plan.

I recently attended a workshop led by Dr. Suarez and was inspired by his systems thinking framework that focused on planning and taking action to achieve one's personal goals. Shortly after the workshop, I purchased the Leader of One and finished it the following week. His framework incorporates academic concepts of systems analysis into actionable steps for personal development. For so long I had ideas about what I wanted to accomplish, but I was unable to turn them into action. The Leader of One helped me structure an approach that defined clear steps derived from my big picture goals. The cyclical feedback loop presented in the book provides the necessary data to make appropriate adjustments to one's conceptualized plan. This book is different than most self-help or career planning books in that it lays out a tactical and pragmatic plan for action without unnecessary noise. Additionally, this approach is buttressed by real world experiences and sound academic research, supporting the concept that the framework is tested and fine-tuned for successful implementation and ongoing execution.
