Summary: A Real Find ...
Review: This book has been a real `find.' I have worked with low morale, stress, burnout and organizational change as a consultant in the health industry for some years, with a modicum of success. LeBrun instead of philosophizing harnesses a powerful and humanizing process.

This approach ... acknowledges the inherent power of the individual and provides insights and immediately practical tools to access that personal power. I have seen many team building approaches fall short of success because the participants do not leave with tools or the understanding of who they are... Le Brun provides a simple, yet extremely effective process that rapidly builds individuals' sense of personal power and respect for each other.

I used this as the basis for a 2 day team building workshop for an organization with extremely low morale ( and all its attendant problems), only a few days after reading the book...and I (along with the management team) was amazed at the rapid shifts within interpersonal dynamics of the organization. Five months on, morale, absenteeism and even workers' compensation claims have dramatically improved.

I highly recommend this book...
