Offers a strategic and unique guide for those involved in the frontline action of this revolution. Takes a candid and realistic look at the ongoing challenges and ultimate benefits of reengineering organizations through teams.The Horizontal Revolution documents the radical shift in workplace roles, goals, and souls and presents a step-by-step approach to creating horizontal operations through high-involvement teaming and coaching.
