Product Description
Exiting OZ is an eye-opening book about leadership as it must become for organizations to survive in today's rapidly changing world. It is a must read for leaders interested in building a sustainable organization and populating it with dedicated, high performance people, and for high performance people interested in avoiding the perils and pitfalls of OZ organizations. OZ is a metaphor for Organizational Zeal, the notion that the organization is more important than the people that keep it alive. OZ organizations are full of ineffective leaders and each is exposed in this book through clever comparisons to the characters from L. Frank Baum's book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Exiting OZ takes you on a fascinating journey through the world of typical organizations and explains in colorful analogies why business-as-usual is a formula for failure as the newer generations move into the workforce majority and reject standard management practices. Giving organizations a ten to twelve year window to get it right, the authors explain, and back their assertions with plenty of data, why organizations of every kind, from corporations to governments, to academic, religious and other institutions must adopt new leadership strategies if they are to survive and thrive.

This review is from: Exiting Oz (Paperback)
I admit I am an avid reader of business books and have been for many years. When I read the overview of this I thought it would be a fun read. I was right and wrong. It was a fun read, but not just for the fun of it. It is insightful of how horribly off track we have become in business and how our children have learned from our behaviors. We have taught them that we worked too much for goals that were not ours. We taught them, by example and preaching, that they can be better. Behold...they are. We learn so much from what has happened when we really take the time to explore. This book teaches us how to think about what the old ways did for us and how our new workforce can teach us about balance. I highly recommend this read to anyone who really wants to think about what has happened in the world and what may happen in the future.
