Breaking the Mould

It's all about performance - or rather how to achieve the best results and a good all round performance from a world weary workforce made cynical by a constant stream of 'consultants'. They breeze in, mess with the status quo and then breeze out again leaving the staff to pick up the pieces.

It's all about empowerment- about giving people the power to change their world and make their working life a pleasure rather than a pain. It's Breaking The Mould - a collection of stories about the amazing power of people when they are allowed to be as good as they can be. When we stop treating people as having no value they suddenly become a valuable asset.

The stories relate different situations in the workplace from the South American Jungle to the Northern North Sea. What actually happened to allow these changes to occur and the resulting difference in real bottom line performance.

Breaking The Mould tell us how that was achieved.

The book highlights the performance improvements which occur when people take ownership and practically, how we can create the conditions that allow them to do so. Its anecdotal style and lack of jargon will appeal to a wide audience, not only to Management Institutions and Educational Establishments, but also to anybody who has been shouted at and blindly told what to do.

Breaking the Mould is a personal and moving account of a management consultant on his experiences of empowerment, from the oil fields of Venezuela to Scotland. His anecdotal style is outstanding, and will help many of us enduring the problems of organizational life.....great read! Professor Cary L. Cooper, CBE, Professor of Organizational Psychology and Health at Lancaster University Management School.

Breaking the Mould is both innovative and quite unique - and is the story of Peter Hunter, a Management Consultant, and the remarkable changes he has managed to bring about within different operations as diverse as dog -sled teams in Canada, to the jungles of Venezuela and the oil rigs of the North Sea.
