Publisher's Note
Displaying equal parts philosophy, humor, and management expertise, the title essay outlines a meditation central to the book's core theme: no one is stabbed in the back who doesn't play a key role in her own downfall -- which doesn't mean, he points out, that people aren't frontstabbed, sidestabbed or even murdered. But knowing the difference, and the dynamics of group backstabbing, are key if organizations and the people within them are to function effectively. Building on this thesis, the author wonders in his second meditation if the most famous betrayal in Western Civilization, that of Judas, is interpreted correctly. Was Judas a fall guy for the equivalent of corporate spin-doctors looking for someone to take the blame for Jesus' betrayal? Here, Harvey shines a fascinating light on the organizational dynamic of the Last Supper, arriving at challenging and deeply engaging conclusions. Written in a voice that is humorous, incisive, and ultimately understanding of human shortcomings, this book covers a diverse range of topics, from bad managers to Waco, Texas. It is equally a safe haven and cannon fodder for those who want something beyond an "easy-listening" approach to business ethics and organizational success. The role we each play in our own downfalls create the profound--and profoundly entertaining--basis for this series of linked "meditations" as the author of The Abilene Paradox takes another irreverent look at the nature of life on the job. In this work, Harvey explores the ethical, moral, and spiritual dilemmas we all face in the modern world of work. But he does it in a most unconventional way. His is an approach that mixes equal parts humor, philosophy, and insight to make us laugh, think, and examine organizational behavior in a brand new light. The twelve essays themselves carry such spirited titles as "What If I Really Believe this Stuff," "On Tooting Your Own Horn," and "Ode to Waco." Altogether, it's an enthralling collection of wise and witty parables that illustrate the redemptive value of the truth in a voice that is ultimately understanding of human shortcomings.
Industry reviews
"Jerry Harvey has the uncanny ability of observing the ordinary yet seeing the extraordinary. His insights are both provocative and useful, no common combination. Reading this book, you will learn to see the world through another lens." (W. Warner Burke) <p> "Here are real organizational worlds both terrifying and hilarious, where people say and do things that they don't do anywhere else, and feel things that they don't feel anywhere else, and fortunately Jerry Harvey is there, too, to record it, reflect on it, and help us learn from it. Bless him!" (Peter Vaill, professor and holder of the Distinguished Chair in Management Education, University of St. Thomas, Minnesota) <p> "A decade ago, Jerry Harvey's Abilene Paradox indelibly entered the lexicon as a metaphor for unproductive group behavior. Now, he's identified an equally damaging-and paradoxical-pattern of individual self-destruction. And, once again, he offers the same invaluable prescription: Tell the truth to everyone?especially yourself. Ah, if only this time we will listen." (James O'Toole, author, Leadership A to Z)

The role each of us plays in our own downfall creates the profound--and profoundly entertaining--basis for this series of linked ""meditations"" as the author of The Abilene Paradox takes another irreverent look at the nature of life on the job. With his title essay and the other cutting-edge queries found here, Jerry Harvey takes aim at many of our long-cherished assumptions about management, organizations, and human nature. In this work, Harvey draws on his extensive background in management science and
