MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE: LEADING EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE: THE ROCKY FLATS STORY By Kim Cameron, Marc Lavine **BRAND NEW**.

About this product

Product Information

The most contaminated nuclear plant in the country, Rocky Flats was an environmental disaster and the site of rampant worker unrest. Although it was estimated that it would take 70 years and $36 billion to clean up and close the facility, something stunning happened. Now on its way to becoming a wildlife refuge, the project is running 60 years ahead of schedule and $30 billion under budget. In "Making the Impossible Possible," Kim Cameron explains how this remarkable performance was achieved -- and how it can be replicated. Using numerous first-hand accounts and public records, Cameron draws a number of leadership guidelines that can be applied to any business. This fascinating and thoroughly researched case study concludes by revealing the ten leadership principles responsible for the Rocky Flats turnaround -- and in doing so, provides a means for other organizations to harness the lessons of this astonishing success.

Reviews
"A brilliant book that will help readers discover and capitalize on the values of positive psychology, astute leadership, and culture. It's a scintillating saga of how an organization can change using basic concepts from an outstanding research team." --John W. Slocum, Jr., O. Paul Corley Professor of Management, Southern Methodist University and coauthor of The Smarter Organization "The cleanup and closure of Rocky Flats is a story of success that exceeded the expectations of virtually every knowledgeable observer. You will learn the organizational practices and leadership lessons that explain how extraordinary performance was achieved in the face of great difficulty. I highly recommend the book." -- Bill Richardson, Governor of New Mexico and former U. S. Secretary of Energy "Cameron and Lavine bring this leadership and organizational change epic alive with innumerable detailed illustrations in the words of the participants themselves, while simultaneously offering a comprehensive theory that can be applied to any organizational setting. --Bill Torbert, author of Action Inquiry and Professor, Carroll School of Management, Boston College
