Summary

In Roses and Rust, authors David Clancy and Robert Webber urge readers to rediscover a lost sense of wholeness and community in their organisations. Without holding up one leader as an example for people to follow, or promising 'four steps to happiness', they offer the practical means to examine and reflect upon changes in the workplace, and encourage the search for productive and meaningful work. At the heart of this organisational transformation lies the need to view our organisations afresh - not as Meccano sets, machines that can be tampered with or re-engineered in search of the perfect structure, but as organic wholes, garden that, if nurtured, will prosper and flourish.
