Kurzbeschreibung
"Change the World" ist ein umfassender und solider Leitfaden zum Erfolg. Hier erfahren Sie Ihr Leben positiv verändern können. Die Kernaussage des Buches heißt - ändere Dich und Du kannst die Welt verändern. Dabei ist es jedoch wichtig zu erkennen, daß der äußere und der innere Wandel untrennbar miteinander verbunden sind, d.h. daß ohne einen inneren Wandel ein äußerer nicht möglich ist. Anhand von 8 Leitsätzen, die der Autor u.a. aus den Arbeiten von Gandhi und King herausgearbeitet hat, wird erläutert, wie man sein Leben erfolgreich ändert. Das Buch richtet sich aber nicht nur an Manager und Fachleute, die für den organisatorischen Wandel in Unternehmen verantwortlich sind, sondern auch an ganz gewöhnliche Leser, die mehr erreichen wollen.
In this empowering book, Robert E. Quinn, author of the highly successful and influential
Deep Change, gives readers the courage to use personal transformation to positively impact their home life, work life, and communities-to be what he refers to as "inner-directed and outer-focused." We are all potential change agents, but most of us are trapped by belief that we as individuals cannot make a difference. Informed by the teachings of Jesus, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr.--three of the most successful change agents ever--Quinn outlines eight steps each of us can take to move ourselves and others to the highest levels of excellence. Following his advice, each of us can access and apply the power that lies within us in ways that will change our world for the better.

"With humility and a heart so clear that his inspiring message can be internalized, Robert Quinn has written the decade's finest book on change management. It calls you and me-as ordinary people-to embrace greatness. It asks us to be fully alive. It brings us, simultaneously, to our knees and then to our profound power to change the world." --David L.
