Tom Peters "Bob Townsend's words still ring true, truer than they seemed almost 40 years ago." Warren Bennis "With this book, Robert Townsend punctured the secret, bureaucratic world of corporate complacency. It was ubiquitous then and still surprisingly prevalent now and this book, based on his countercultural stint as Avis CEO, is still one of the best weapons against it."
