Groups become great only when everyone in them, leaders and members alike, is free to do his or her absolute best. This book is about organizing gifted people in ways that allow them both to achieve great things and to experience the joy and personal transformation such accomplishment brings. This book is part history, part how-to manual, part meditation on why a few groups rise to greatness, while most flounder. Reviews "The most riveting management book ever." —Stewart Brand's Global Business Network Book Club "Warren Bennis [and] coauthor Biederman describe hallmarks that distinguish extraordinary groups from groups whose performance is strictly so-so." —Fortune "Organizing Genius, the latest insightful and fascinating offering from Bennis and Biederman, reveals how there is rarely only one face to success. What may seem to be independent achievements are almost always a collection of extraordinarily interdependent minds." —Dr. Stephen Covey author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People Warren Bennis knows his audience. A well-respected business consultant, he instructs uncertain managers in the art of transforming themselves into leaders. Organizing Genius ... [is] aimed at people suddenly entrusted with a corporate project that involves getting people to work together creatively, a skill rarely imparted at B-school. Many of them, I suspect, will find the book extremely useful. —The New York Times Book Review, Charles C. Mann
