Change and growth. Those are the constant factors in the work of Robert Quinn. In many of his books, Quinn challenges you to critically review your present ideas.

For one thing, Quinn challenges us to reflect on the management models we´re accustomed to using in the field of management and organization. He says that one management model is not necessarily better than another. It´s just that one particular model is likely to work better in a certain situation than others. This means we have to move from an either/or approach to a both/and approach to management, Quinn says. The broader the management repertoire we have at our command as leaders, the more effective we will be, he tells us.
