4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read!, May 8 2001

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Companies like to say that they encourage their employees to participate thoroughly in the business, but when it comes to actually handing over power to their subordinates, many executives balk. Patricia McLagan and Christo Nel say that companies and bosses that refuse to take the participatory plunge are doomed to extinction. In The Age of Participation, they present the concept of participation - the active involvement of all employees or citizens in every aspect of running an organization - as a worldview, not just a business method. Sure the book contains more than its share of platitudes, but it is well written and never dry. And it balances its more utopian pronouncements with some practical observations about the performance of companies that have implemented participatory strategies and some insightful points on the role of common sense in business decision making. We [...] recommend this book to executives and mid-level managers, particularly change managers and human resource professionals.
