How to Create a VIBRANT CULTURE in Uncertain Times

An insider's strategy to navigate through a turbulent global marketplace

Compiling observations of organizational culture made over three decades as a trainer and consultant, Jack Pachuta provides a unique look at how companies prosper or fail. The book delineates a system for looking at an organization based upon the attitudes of top management, the roles played by its members, and the operating philosophy that permeates all levels.

Jack makes the case that all organizations have a great deal of similarity in the ways in which they function, but within those similarities are the variations which make cultures unique. By quantifying the similarities and the differences, the book puts culture into perspective and enables a quick diagnosis, leading to prescriptions that remedy potential problems.
