How do we build a better world for our children, our businesses, our society, and ourselves? F. David Peat's latest book provides a clear answer: exercise more effective, creative, and noninvasive action from the local to the international level. Gentle Action shows ways in which businesses can respond more effectively to a changing marketplace and how organizations can grow more flexible, responsive, and sensitive to the world around them. The book will be an invaluable resource for everyone from CEOs, policy makers, and community leaders, to teachers and parents. It shows how and why things go wrong when well-meaning but inappropriate actions are taken. It provides examples of gentle actions in operation and how the creative intervention of a single person can end up being more effective than an aid program organized by a multimillion-dollar organization. Each chapter presents a series of questions and challenges for readers leading to ways in which they can bring creative change to their community or organization.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. How can we build a kinder world for our families, our businesses, our society and ourselves? "Gentle Action" explores ways in which we can exercise more effective, creative and non-invasive action from the local to the international level. The book is packed with examples of ways in which individuals and groups have totally transformed economies, societies and situations by means of gentle and creative actions. It also highlights those far-too-many cases in which well-meaning attempts to help or to provide aid have gone disastrously wrong; wrong because the organizations involved were over rigid, failed to understand the complexities involved and operated from 'outside the system'. This is an invaluable resource for everyone from CEOs, policy makers, community leaders, opinion makers, aid organizations, business groups, consultants and politicians as well as parents and indeed anyone who is trying to make a difference. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR002224478
