The book serves students and practitioners, outlining technical tools and techniques as well as offering people management and organizational development philosophies. This book will appeal to aspiring executives from technical fields, newlyminted professionals and experienced consultants with various specialties, and people leading as well as experiencing change in organizations. For example, the aspiring executive may be drawn to the discussion of leadership in Chapter 4 where the McCalman, Paton & Siebert (2016) indicate that “leaders initiate and build culture; managers maintain culture…leaders are social construction; managers are given the position by the organization” (p. 67), “leaders are focused on changing the meaning system and cultural themes of the organization to frame and define the reality of others, changing how [they] talk about things (p. 71)”, as well the opportunity to assess themselves against the “characteristics of transformational leaders” (p. 79).
