"...makes serious points about leadership andchange..." (Financial Times, 29 July 2004)"Squirrel Inc. is a wonderfully refreshing look atleadership that contains countless insights on how stories createmeaning and can inspire even cynical management to act. Thisbook is both provocative and evocative. It's centralmessage kept resonating in my head for weeks after reading it. Ihighly recommend this book¾and it is a great read, aswell."
"It is hardly a nutty idea that narrative is a usefulmeans of transferring knowledge from one human--or squirrel toanother. Steve Denning's wonderful story about stories is aunique way to tell a fundamental truth about how organizationsimprove their performance."
"I've witnessed the power of narrative in my workand life, but I haven't had the tools to effectively employstory when I've needed it most. Denning's book providesthe 'how to' for which I've beenlooking."
"Steve Denning is one of the most imaginative knowledgepractitioners around, so it isn't surprising that he'sproduced a charming and illustrative fable about organizationallife (among other things). Read it and grow wiser in the ways ofsquirrels and men!"
"The success of a leader can best be measured by how manywho actually followed. In the management literature of today, weare overestimating the more rational dimensions of leadership andunderestimating the importance of how to craft a story thatattracts the fullness of human desire. Steve Denning's work is animportant reminder and great inspiration to all leaders who wish toconnect with their employees on all the human dimensions requiredto create true followership."
