Annotation: "This book explores the process of deep change and the development of internally driven leadership." Quinn asserts that our choice in organizations is often between deep change and slow death. He offers some insights about "how to take the transformational perspective, a position of reverence for the moral core of the community." (Preface, page xv)

It is a great read for learning more about being the change you wish to see in the world.

Chapter 19 is particularly relevant to the AI community and change agents: "Excellence is a form of deviance." A very accessible version of the phenomenon of positive deviance.
