“Globalization,
technology, environmental and cultural challenges
have seriously eroded the value of the traditional
organizational model and its ‘hero leader.’
A shift from the hierarchical model is a cultural
imperative, and this book points to a mandate and
techniques for power sharing and collaboration at
the level of organizational communities. Bravo.”
-BOB VITAMANTE
Corporate CFO
