The Invisible Organization

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'If only we had this book when HR set out on our journey to gain professional recognition and make a strategic contribution. It's a little way out, it takes chances, it makes us vulnerable and it finally helps HR stand up and be counted. An exciting and refreshing rethink on HR's contribution to organisational change.' - Graham White, Director of HR, Westminster City Council 'I like this book, it is both appropriately theoretical and easy to understand, offering tangible approaches that can relatively easily be adopted. I have long believed in the power of informal networks. Whilst senior managers are crucial to the success of change programmes, their commitment alone will not secure a desired result...we take action when we see those close to us who are trusted lead the way. In The Invisible Organization Neil Farmer shows deep understanding of how organizations REALLY work.' - Liane Hornsey, European HR Director, Google 'The Invisible Organization...has been on my book shelf for about 12 months, and I've read it three or four times. My heavy pencil annotations in the margins are testament to the usefulness of the book...I would rate this book four stars...'

Grand ideas will remain simply ideas without the mobilisation and activation of the workforce. This book highlights the hidden resources which every company has and how to engage them - but more than that, it draws attention to the real influencers and the role they play.' - Dr Colin Herron, Manager: Manufacturing and Productivity, One NorthEast 'The Invisible Organization is based on the considerable experience, processes and techniques used by Neil and his colleagues in developing successful change in organizations. The content and approach is of interest to consultants, business managers and leaders at all levels an
