Customer Reviews

Discovering the oversights of a majority of leaders

This was an entertaining and insightful world of Management Consulting. The book is filled with practical quotes, funny and at times pathetic anectdotes of Management type errors.

Frame breaking

The Balancing Act takes a fresh and innovatinve approach to the many demands of leadership and organizational development. Well researched and easy to read. There are many gems that are worthy of re-reading when impact of concept is fully understood and implicaitions for change. I strongly recommend. Kurt Southam, Ph.D. Management Consultant

Outstanding. All org leaders should read

This is an excellent look at what motivates people, and what business leaders need to do to revitalize their organizations. It is one of the best I have seen at assessing and molding the cutlure of an organization. A colleague and I liked it well enough to visit the Praxis Group and meet two of the authors. We found them to be very engaging, down to earth, and exceptionally talented at the analysis of an organization's leadership and culture issues.
