The Open Organization: Igniting Passion and Performance by Jim Whitehurst

The Open Organization: Igniting Passion and Performance by Jim Whitehurst allows us to experience a new kind of organization... an organization that is focused on openness, transparency, diversity, servant leadership, autonomy, and ultimately creating a place where people can thrive and drive optimal results/value. Something I love about this book is that it goes beyond talking about how to structure the organization and theories of how people will respond... it gets into the nitty gritty of leadership within an open organization, which is critical to making an organization truly open. Jim Whitehurst's firsthand leadership experiences are valuable for anyone in any type of leadership position who's truly interested in servant leadership and creating an environment where people are passionate about what they do.
