Reviews

... the book provides a foundation in double loop learning for senior management executives, and organizational consultants. Nurturing Potential (online magazine) For the past half-century Chris Argyris has been one of the most important thinkers about organizations and personality and devloping creative interventions to bring out the best of both. This book is (for me) his clearest, most cogent, and perhaps most important, in summing up a lifetime of thought and action and heart on the critical issue of how we live our lives in integrity, both in and out of organizations. Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Business Administration at USC, Chair of Harvard University's Center for Public Leadership and author of On Becoming a Leader

He then became the James Bryant Conant Professor of Education and Organizational Behavior at Harvard University and held joint appointments over time at the Business, Law, and Kennedy Schools.
