From Library Journal:

Organizational change is a topic of interest to many people, as evidenced by the best-selling status achieved by books like Tom Peters's Liberation Management ( LJ 11/1/92). Another title might therefore seem unnecessary, yet Smith, a business consultant, has produced an interesting work with an unusual perspective. Blending elements of history, philosophy, and mythology, and spicing his prose with numerous real-life examples, Smith uses the legendary hero of Parzival to show that organizational change only occurs with personal change. Smith's "new philosophy" is based on six practices: one must have a vision; intentions must be understood; work must be executed with integrity; life should be experienced fully; expression should be stressed; and relationships must be based on knowledge. This book will interest readers wanting a fresh approach to the topic.
