Kim Turnbull James, Professor of Executive Learning, Cranfield School of Management, UK

"My introduction to the book was in 1978 and it has become a staple resource for my teaching ever since. The book recognises the fact that developing individuals is inextricably linked to developing organisations and if individuals are to be effective they need to know themselves and develop appropriate skills and attitudes. "
Richard Thorpe, Professor of Management Development and Pro Dean Research, Leeds University Business School, UK
