Creating positive organizations and outstanding results
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
There are a lot of books on organizations, but nothing like this book. It goes to the core of what it takes to build an enthusiastic and committed group of people who can consistently produce great results. There is fabulous material in here for leaders and staff alike. The concepts are insightful, and there are plenty of applications. If this book was widely read and applied, organizations of all types and sizes would be revolutionized from the inside out.

The Passionate Organization is on the cutting edge of what's happening in our global economy. I know of nothing that wins over passion - education will not, experience will not. It is a passion to win that brings about success. Working with executives in more than 30 industries as an executive coach I have found this book to be the best pick on the market.
Lucas identifies the driving force behind major achievment

This book shows the reader the crucial motivating power of passion. It challenges you to think in a fresh and new way about change, and what causes positive change to occur in organizations (as well as what causes organizations to stagnate). Powerfully inspiring.
This is one of the best books on business I have ever read.

I believe Mr. Lucas has captured the secret to the success of any business. You can not win in business or in every day life unless you have passion. The key is, to involve your employees enough so that they feel ownership of the business and they will develop a passion to win.
