At 8:20 A.M. on June 17, 1969, one day after his last ordeal as acting president of the University of Oregon, Dr. Charles Johnson rounded a sharp, blind curve and drove his Volkswagen head-on into a Mack B-61 diesel log truck and Peerless log trailer with a load of thirteen logs weighing sixteen tons.

From the jacket flap

Leaders beware. There's an "unconscious conspiracy" afoot, aiming to sabotage your plans and undermine your vision. Entrenched bureaucracy, ominous social trends, and mind-numbing routine are among its members?and their proliferation is an unfortunate sign of our times. But take heart. In this highly acclaimed work, legendary management consultant Warren Bennis unmasks the culprits, analyzes their tactics, and offers new insights for change agents struggling to take charge in an era that conspires against effective leadership.
