People Are Messy:
Notes From Inside Organizations

by Maria Glymph

Every organization has an official version of itself. Then there is what actually happens.

​

This is a book of observations about organizational life at every level — from the front line to the boardroom, from headquarters to the field.

 

It captures what is rarely said out loud: the unspoken rules, the private calculations, the moments of courage and those of compromise.

​

Not a framework.

Not a fix.

Just the truth, plainly stated.
