Synopsis:

Leaders and managers will find Lawrence Lippitt's advice a refreshing change from the usual dry management guides. ""Preferred futuring"" involves an examination of an organization's status by all its employees, defining a ""preferred future"" state that excites everyone involved, and group planning and implementation. Because it begins the cycle of change by inviting all stakeholders to participate, preferred futuring enlists widespread support and serves as a powerful organizational tool.

About the Author: Lawrence L. Lippitt, Ph.D., is president of Lippitt.Carter Consulting and cofounder of the Preferred Futuring Network. The son of Ron Lippitt, a pioneer in the field of organization development and whole-system change methodologies, Larry learned from some of the most influential OD thinkers and practitioners of the 1960s and 1970s. For over twenty years, Larry has helped both large and small organizations-from Fortune 500 companies and healthcare organizations to schools, civic groups, nonprofits, and city governments-to apply Preferred Futuring to achieve positive outcomes in areas as diverse as strategic planning, process improvement, goal setting, and conflict management.
