About this book

The Creative Power: Transforming Ourselves, Our Organizations, and Our World introduces the AIC (Appreciation, Influence, Control) philosophy, model, and process of purpose-power relationships as a next step in the evolution of organization and systems theory. The book traces its roots and evolution in organization theory and indicates its actual and potential contribution to that field. It translates the model into a transformative, strategic organizing process that can be used to organize at any level, in a way that will ensure the achievement of higher levels of purpose, at less cost and in less time than traditional organizational approaches.
