SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"The book sets out an alternative philosophy for enduring individual and team improvement. It reframes personal and organizational development in the context of courage and courageous activity, and describes a six-stage model for use in accessing the Inner Warrior present within each of us. By using the skills of the model, individuals learn to avoid and resist the Gulliver Effect, a metaphor for psychological imprisonment. They also learn the best use of power that courage brings, in which collaboration and organizational effectiveness remain guiding principles. Using real-life case studies, The Inner Warrior is for anyone who seeks a healthy work environment where values are lived, not laminated."--Jacket.
