I worked with one of the authors of this book on a major programme of reform. When we started I wasn t sure these ideas for involving people would work. But they did. The whole thing was a huge success and I was proud of it. The book is an easy read and shows a wise understanding of human nature. I commend it.

This book is so smooth it s hard to imagine that four people wrote it. The authors lived what they are writing about they got something wonderful done by involving each other.
