Synopsis

In this empowering book, Robert E. Quinn, author of the highly successful and influential Deep Change, gives readers the courage to use personal transformation to positively impact their home life, work life, and communities -- to be what he refers to as inner-directed and outer-focused. We are all potential change agents, but most of us are trapped by belief that we as individuals cannot make a difference. Informed by the teachings of Jesus, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr. -- three of the most successful change agents ever -- Quinn outlines eight steps each of us can take to move ourselves and others to the highest levels of excellence. Following his advice, each of us can access and apply the power that lies within us in ways that will change our world for the better.

Media Reviews
Quinn's book is one of the most significant books on personal andorganizational transformation I have read in some time. Why?Because it is totally original, powerful, written with almostabsurd lucidity, and transports you from muscular theory to atheory of action. A unique and seminal contribution. --WarrenBennis, professor, University of Southern California, andco-author, Co-Leaders and Organizing Genius

With humility and a heart so clear that his inspiring message canbe internalized, Robert Quinn has written the decade's finest bookon change management. It calls you and me-as ordinary people-toembrace greatness. It asks us to be fully alive. It brings us, simultaneously, to our knees and then to our profound power tochange the world. --David L. Cooperrider, professor, Case WesternReserve University, and author, Appreciative Inquiry: A PositiveRevolution in Change

Bold and brilliant, this book is a masterpiece for anyone whotruly wants to achieve extraordinary results in their life. Itdispels the traditional myths of leadership and reveals the truthabout making a difference in this world. --Richard J. DeVries, community president, Citizens Bank

This is a remarkable book. Faithful to its audacious title, itexplores both 'change' and 'the world' in ways that engage us onevery level of our lives. --Parker J. Palmer, author Let Your LifeSpeak and The Courage to Teach
