Porras' Topic: Building Lasting Organizational Communities
Pegasus brochure and web site say:
Accelerating change dominates both our culture and our organizations.
What principles should managers follow as they attempt to guide their
organizations into tomorrow? The best answers may come from the
past--some of our oldest and most widely admired organizations
navigated through increasingly turbulent waters by preserving their
core ideology while at the same time stimulating broad change. These
two principles, in concert with leadership that builds organizational
capability and a systems structure that optimizes organizational
behavior, provide the keys to lasting success. Jerry Porras shares the
results of a six-year study of great, enduring companies and explores
how the principles that guided them can help build lasting and highly
successful organizational communities.
Jerry Porras is the Lane Professor of Organizational Behavior and
Change at Stanford's Graduate School of Business. He has directed its
Executive Program in Leading and Managing Change since 1982 and is
co-author of the best-seller, Built to Last: Successful Habits of
Visionary Companies. He lectures throughout the world on the
principles that have guided many of America's premier companies for
over 100 years.
