Customer Reviews

A superb book about development

I found this book to be very informative and an easy read. It has a good balance of theory and practical advice. It goes hand in hand with the same author's Career Compass book. I would recommend this book for human resources or organizational development people looking for a new perspective.

Practical, systemic approach to organization change

I thought the book was incredibly practical and realistic in its approach to utilizing career development as a lever for organization effectiveness. Simonsen uses a wide variety of industry examples to demonstrate how the strategy she is advocating-which is your tried and true OD approach-can work in today's organizations. This is a book that managers and consultants can utilize together as they tie together business strategy and people planning. I keep buying copies of this book and giving them away to HR colleagues and line managers.
