Even though dated this book provides timeless advice, May 19 2006
By Alexander Capaj "Truth Associates" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Driving Fear Out of the Workplace: How to Overcome the Invisible Barriers to Quality, Productivity, and Innovation (Paperback)
While the authors have updated this book since its original publishing in 1991 there still remains some classic advice for driving fear out of the workplace and building a culture of trust. I have not read the updated copy however I am confident that there are many topics and words wisdom that remain as core threads throughout each.The major downside to this book is how dated it is...legal environment changes, technology advancements and other areas will be better served in the newer edition.
