| "I haven't a question in my mind that Hot Groups will be the most important
management book of 99... It is wonderfully original. It is
uncannily timely. It is gorgeously written. It is
practical. It is very wise and authoritative."
- Warren
Bennis, Distinguished Professor,
University of Southern California
and
author of Why Leaders Can't Lead an An Invented Life
"Captures the attributes of intense, task
dominated teams that energize both individual and organizational
effectiveness in doing what hasn't been done
before."
- Edward C.
Stone, Director,

"Jean Lipman-Blumen and Hal Leavitt take
the reader into the world of "hot groups," a world they
know so well but which remains elusive to most of us.
Lipman-Blumen and Leavitt dissect the inner workings of "hot
groups" with their boundless energy, creativity, and crystal
clear sense of mission. This book will drive most readers to
search for their own "hot group" experience, whether it's
to be found in their work, community, or family. An
extraordinary relevant book for our dynamic but chaotic
times."

"Hot Groups
makes a passionate case for injecting strategic disorder into
disciplined organizations. Packed with information, it is
clearly written, superbly organized, and entirely original.
Anyone who has an interest in fostering quick and real
organizational change to confront a rapidly transforming world will
want to read it and refer to it."
