Reviews

"Having followed his work over the last few years, what I really appreciate about Richard Barrett's writing, and in particular his latest book 'The Values-driven Organization', is that he integrates his own personal journey into his offerings - and also that of his company, the Barrett Values Centre. This alone gives me confidence that he really knows his subject - with authenticity, integrity and at a deep level. In this new book he creates a 'bridge' for organizational leaders, consultants and coaches between the mind and the soul, between the head and the heart. He focuses on providing clarity to those who seek to understand the evolution of personal and collective human consciousness - and draws on his many years experience of working with organizations to provide practical guidance and tools to enable leaders to take the necessary steps to unleash human performance within their own lives and then, acting as role models, within their organizations. As an organizational and leadership development coach, I know that I will be drawing on the wisdom in this book for many years to come." - Chris Monk, Partner - Global Business Leaders

'Richard Barrett has made extraordinary contributions to our understanding of the seemingly nebulous yet critical topics of organizational values and culture. His frameworks for measuring cultural entropy and enabling whole system transformation are elegant, deceptively simple and yet dramatic in their practical implications. Richard's thinking is expansive, his reservoir of knowledge is vast, and his connection to timeless wisdom is profound. His work is indispensable to the Conscious Capitalism movement.' -
