Janice’s book is published in Russia
Yes, we are international! Janice Calnan’s book “SHIFT: Secrets of Positive Change for Organizations and Their Leaders” was published in Russian Federation. Here is what the President of The Russian Society for Quality says about the book:
“In the turning moments of life fate always gives us an opportunity to know what’s necessary . . . to find the answers for the questions it asks. This book is . . . a desired and long-awaited signal for me that confirms intuition and a map for the way. The author asks readers the questions unobtrusively and compels them to think about themselves and their families, about organization as a form of being with life and work together as a very important part of their existence. When reflecting on and answering these questions, the insuperable wish to act is arising and you’d like to change yourself and your world immediately.
The author makes the process of changes a simple, clear, and technological instrument ready for use in the moment. Being a propagandist of TQM (Total Quality Management) ideology for the last nine years, I was engaged in changes that occurred in different companies and I am ready to use a half of the book immediately.
I completely agree with the author that psychology is coming to take the place of management technologies and that qualitative measurements of relationships are coming to take the place of the quantitative. In strict competition we need to speak about comfort, self-knowledge, consent and harmony, necessity to love people, not to control or command but give them freedom of action…. People pay the most expensive price to ignore common truths…the main of which is trust, the only eternally valuable commodity in any market!
- Vladislav Nikitenko, President, The Russian Society for Quality, September 2007
