Customer Reviews:
How "Passion-Driven" Is Your Organization?.......2001-03-17
Chang organizes his material within ten chapters whose titles correctly indicate the step-by-step process:
Why Passion Works in Organizations: A Timely Source for Timely Change
Putting the Passion Plan to Work: A Model for Organizational Success
Step One: Start from the Heart -- Passion as the Foundation of the Organization's Success
Step Two: Discover Core Passions -- Uncovering the Forces That Will Drive the Organization's Success
Step Three: Clarify Purpose -- Channeling the Organization's Passion Toward a Specific Goal
Step Four: Define Actions -- Planning for Passion-Inspired Change and Growth
Step Five: Perform with Passion -- Translating Passion into Performance in the Workplace and Marketplace
Step Six: Spread Excitement -- Sparking Commitment and Enthusiasm in Employees, Partners, and Customers
Step Seven: Stay the Course -- Keeping the Organization Centered on Passion
Realizing Profit: Moving on to Bigger and Better Things
Chang then includes an excellent resource, "Profiled Organizations", which consists of Web sites of various "superior organizations" which range from Ben & Jerry's to Wainwright Industries. I rate this book so highly because its coverage of material is eloquent, practical, comprehensive, and cohesive. It remains for each organization (regardless of its size or nature) to select, combine, modify, and then apply Chang's key ideas. Those who share my admiration of this book are urged to check out the aforementioned Built to Last as well as Real Change Leaders (Katzenbach and the RCL Team) and The Irresistible Growth Enterprise (Mitchell, Coles & Kahn). Chang invites feedback from his readers which can be directed to www.thepassionplan.com.
