Tools which help take the "dys" out of dysfunction, Feb 15 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Breakaway Management: Overcoming Dysfunction in the Workplace (Paperback)
Breakaway Management articulates what's true about workplace behaviors: all people have them and they are less than ideal. People bring along their less than ideal histories (Managers are people too!) and create barriers to change that keep organizations or work groups stuck. The dysfunctional patterns can be identified and named, openly dealt with, and constructively managed. The tools provided in this book help to talk about what's real in the workplace and that's a common sense approach that experience teaches works well

The fix-it that gets at the heart of organizational failure, Jan 26 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Breakaway Management: Overcoming Dysfunction in the Workplace (Paperback)
Finally, the fix-it for dealing with those "people problems"that ultimately cause organizational ineffectiveness and
failure! Dr. Jones spends just enough time outlining the
origins of dysfunction and the widespread impact of dysfunction
to convince any business person that it is this dysfunction we
must focus on first in our organizations--and not our
structures or policies or procedures. Throughout his book,
Dr.Jones develops the pathway for any manager to deal
respectfully and responsibly with dysfunctional behaviors.
No matter how rampant the dysfunction in your workplace, Dr.
Jones has beautifully and practically developed the "way
out" for managers so they can implement and foster the "way
back" into functional behaviors which, ultimately, creates
the "way to" organizational success.

A practical outline for positive organizational change, Jan 18 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Breakaway Management: Overcoming Dysfunction in the Workplace (Paperback)
Very insightful;full of useful strategies and information. Dr. Jones style is humorous and very down-to-Earth. Chapter 5 was a real eye-opener. I now have a better sense of how to approach discussion of the issues we've been avoiding for so long. Our Thursday morning staff meetings will never be the same. If you supervise 1 or 1,000 people, this book is for you!!John A. Wilson,
