The target audience of the book is business professionals interested in developing a culture of accountability within an organization. In my opinion the strengths of this book are few, though conceptually the authors propose a foundational, though rudimentary, structure describing how one might go about inciting cultural change. That said, there are too many weaknesses to justify suffering through the long winded “real-life” examples that compose the bulk of most chapters; specifically the outdated concepts that are the core of the material presented, the oversimplification of the information’s utility as applicable to all business cultures, and the incessant lists, methods and systems the authors advertise as essential to the process of instilling a culture of accountability. There are so many better choices in this field of study that I cannot comfortably recommend the book; not even as foundational reference material.• Who is the book written forThe book is written in such a way that makes me suspect that the authors were providing high level leaders something to distribute among their subordinate managers as required reading when approaching the topic of change management through cultural development. Therefore, I was not surprised at the many customer reviews stating that they were, in fact, encouraged by a manager or boss to give it a read and explain the large brush strokes to their direct reports and teams. Of course, the publishing company, hoping to sell a copy to every business person on the planet, touts it as useful material to the everyman business person who desires to instill the virtue of accountability in the souls of their organizations.• Specific Strengths of the BookI believe that Change the Culture, Change the Game would be best suited as an introductory read for managers within an organization that has become so stagnant in their culture that they require immediate and drastic alterations to abate disaster. It presents some basic concepts and fills in the blanks with descriptive, though, as previously stated, long winded, allegory that fail to construct a complete plan of action. This being the case, one would expect that it might spark an interest in some of its audience and encourage them to look deeper into the topics presented, thereby becoming the initial stepping stone that might provide a manager the tools necessary to understand and effect real change in an organization’s culture.• Specific Weaknesses of the BookThe material presented is dated, and as far from the forefront in the field of organizational behavior as VHS tape is to media delivery methodology. I was extremely disappointed to find that the 2012 edition didn’t add fundamentally to the original printing of the book in 2001, even though so much progress has been made in this field in the past decade. I very much dislike books that present themselves as ‘the’ authority on a topic, promising innovative techniques and cutting edge strategic insights, but deliver nothing more than a regurgitation of outmoded information. I found the recommendations of the authors to be elementary, effectively cookie-cuttering something as complex and unique as an organization’s corporate culture into a one-size-fits-all pyramid of buzz-word ubiquity.• What Other Reviewers Have Said for and Against the Book and Your ReplyAs one would expect, the majority of reviews on .com are generally positive, some of which appear to be contrived by those who stood to benefit from book sales. However, I did notice that in many of the positive reviews, my sentiments were echoed in part or in their entirety, but for whatever reason, the reviewer still gave the book the coveted 5 star rating. The 1 star ratings seemed more sincere and in line with my own experience. The endorsements pages within the book itself ~ 4 pages of praise from renowned business leaders and industry heavy hitters comprise the first 4 pages of the text~ are all resoundingly positive and recommend it highly as a must read. Then again the publisher wouldn’t have been doing a very good job of marketing the product had they used anything but the shiny polished ones, therefore I discount them wholeheartedly. And finally, the initial 2001 edition received recognition as both a New York Times and Wall Street Journal Best Seller. Frankly, way back then, I might have personally helped them achieve that standing.• RecommendationsThough I would not recommend this particular book, I feel that this is a continuously evolving and exciting field of study with value and practical application to every organization, large and small. Therefore, I might suggest that people start where I did in my journey of behavioral discovery, and read anything written by John Kotter; starting with the revamped edition of Leading Change, while being sure not to miss The Heart of Change: Real-Life Stories of How People Change Their Organizations, or Our Iceberg Is Melting: Changing and Succeeding under Any Conditions all of which available on .com. Save a tree and buy them used.5 of 6 people found the following review helpful.not a book on organizational developmentBy W. WrightThe book gave me a headache and was hard to follow due to the excessive use of "accountability" so much so I did a word search, which identified 100 uses of the word which is either the maximum number the search will identify or it was used exactly 100 times; in any event, the result is painful, literally.Then I discovered the authors apparently already wrote two books on accountability, and, they used messages from those books in ways that I could not understand because I had not read their other books.Overall, I felt taken advantage of, because most of all the material was presented in unintuitive ways that has nothing to do with culture in the Organizational Development context.Nonetheless I give them 5 stars on shameless self promotion and trickery. 0 stars on useful content.PS: the discussion of culture has roots in behavioral science; culture = an organization's shared values and principles. I also did a word search using "value" and found it is used 19 times. Unfortunately the authors did not explore value in the behavioral context in any of its mentions.PPS: can't wait to see their next release :)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Leverage your results - as a leader of your teamBy Hans-Juergen WilkeTruth is simple and we have heard it more than once, not what is counts, what it looks like counts. And culture is part of look and feel inside and out. Even more, it duplicates itself, it spreads and grows.As any growing force, culture needs guidance. Change the culture, change the game gives valuable insights how to direct the culture in an organisation, how to mobilize your people for the good. It's a must hear (and read) when you lead a team or organisation and it challenges you to proceed.Great work, highly recommended for leaders in any field. Give your team the force of a direction and they'll love it.My personal score: 28 out of 28!See all 96 customer reviews... The Culture Engine: A Framework for Driving Results ...
