Towards organizational fitness : a guide to diagnosis and treatment / Gerry Randell and John Toplis. - Farnham, Surrey : Gower, [2014] - x, 160p. ; 25cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
This book addresses two main issues: firstly, how to investigate and manage problems involving people at work - a task analogous to that of a medical doctor working with a sick patient; secondly, how to assess and develop the capability and fitness of an organization - like a medical doctor who wishes to improve a patient's health. The message of this book is clear, that organizations should not proceed to change any of their policies, procedures, processes or practices until a systematic thorough diagnosis of the root cause underpinning the need to change has taken place.
