Regarded as one of the most influential management books of all time, Organizational Culture and Leadership tranforms the abstract concept of culture into a tool that managers and students can continually use to better shape the dynamics of organization and change. Focusing on today's business realities, Schein draws on a wide range of comtemporary research to redefine culture and demonstrate the crucial role leaders play in successfully applying the principles of culture to achieve their organizational goals. He tackles the complex question of how an existing culture can be changed - one of the toughest challenges of leadership. The result is a vital aid to understanding and practicing organizational effectiveness.
