Empowerment Takes More Than a Minute tells the story of a young manager whose attempts to turn his troubled company around through traditional top-down, command-and-control management are failing. Reluctantly, he contacts an expert in empowerment, even though he feels like he's already tried that too. Step by step, the expert helps him understand why his past and present efforts have fallen short and exactly what he needs to do to create an empowered workforce. The process as it unfolds is complex, paradoxical and counterintuitive -but well worth the effort. The new introduction dispels the notion that empowerment is a bygone fad. No matter what its name, the essential concept-that organizations can achieve extraordinary results by recognizing and taking advantage of the skills, experience, and knowledge already existing in the organization-will always be relevant. The new epilogue describes obstacles companies have encountered and overcome and outlines empowerment strategies that have proved successful during the fifteen years the authors have been consulting, researching, and refining these concepts. Although sometimes arduous, the journey to empowerment is well worth making. In fact, unleashing the power of people in an organization may be the only way to continue to do business in a competitive, complicated marketplace.

W strone Swanna Marcela Prousta to pierwsza czesc cyklu powiesciowego W poszukiwaniu straconego czasu, uznawanego za arcydzielo swiatowej literatury. (…) Proust lekcewazy sobie to, co zazwyczaj stanowi sile i urok powiesci: fabule, wiklanie przygod. Nigdy nie slizga sie po powierzchni zjawisk, zawsze drazy w glab, a introspekcja jego jest tak dramatyczna i zajmujaca, ze obchodzi sie bez zewnetrznych perypetii „bajki”. Zainteresowanie plynie nie ze zdarzen, ale z perspektyw, jakie nam Proust umie pokazac, z mysli, jaka umie przesycic najbardziej znany fakt, ktory nagle ogladamy nowymi oczami. Z drazniaca dla wielu nonszalancja nigdy nie liczy sie z czasem. Podwieczorek u pani de Villeparisis zajmuje pol tomu, obiad u ksieznej de Guermantes co najmniej tylez; ale ktoraz powiesc potrafi tak zagarnac i przykuc czytelnika, jak te genialne akty nowej komedii ludzkiej!
