Review
Mr. McCoy's approach to the concept of an open-book organization is so revelatory that you must read it cover to cover and in the order presented to get the full benefit. So be prepared to hunker down and wade through it all. The effort will be well worth it, plus the many case studies and examples will help you immensely in seeing the "big picture."
McCoy defines and provides step-by-step guidelines for establishing an effective open-book organization. His original models; the E4-R4 Partnership Checklist, the Education Onion, the Line-of-Sight Linkage Tree, and the Reward System Selector are extremely innovative tools for guiding managers and employees in breaking out of the "us versus them" mentality with which most organizations are plagued. McCoy's premise is that all the change processes in the world are useless unless specific employee expectations and reactions are taken into consideration up front.
These are the special elements of McCoy's thesis that promise to help transform companies into really effective employee-management partnerships with greater profits and satisfaction for all. -- Business Book Review. Volume 13, Number 4
