Designing Organisations to Succeed.
New Edition.
The title of this book comes from the principle in science that tells us energy moves where it is easiest to go. Organisations, like the rest of nature, have patterns that are formed by their path of least resistance - with two very distinct patterns: They either oscillate like a rocking chair, or they advance forward, like a fine sports car.
This book shows how to build a successful organisation by creating the "right" path of least resistance, one that leads to success, and then more success, rather than a pattern in which success sets up its own reversal. The book provides a concrete methodology that any manager can use to put the principles Robert Fritz presents into practice immediately.
