Strategic Organizational Alignment: Authority, Power, Results

“Organization development is a process of planned change. The process never goes exactly as planned, but we need guidance and a map nevertheless. Chris Crosby provides in three well-written and easy to understand books the required expertise regarding guidance and the way forward. The first book draws the big picture and explains the relevant and necessary guidance followed by the other two volumes that provide the complete package of tools to facilitate the intricate process covered in the initial book. Chris has the requisite experience and wisdom so greatly needed in this new century to lead and manage change. — W. Warner Burke, PhD, Edward L. Thorndike Professor of Psychology and Education, Teachers College, Columbia University Strategic Organizational Alignment is an important book that every leader should read. Rather than giving simple solutions or a fancy new model, Crosby recognizes that sustained performance is only achieved by diligent attention to the basics. He shows how challenging that is and then provides detailed actions that can truly align the organization. This is not for the faint-hearted, but for the leader who truly seeks excellence. —David L.
