Edgar H. Schein’s classic, now fully updated with co-author Peter A. Schein, remains the go-to 2017 paperback (ISBN 9781119212041) for leaders, OD consultants, HR partners, and MBA students who need more than buzzwords. Across 416 tightly-bound pages the father-and-son team decode how invisible cultural assumptions drive visible performance, giving readers field-tested tools—surveys, dialogue protocols, “cultural islands,” and change scenarios—to diagnose, intervene in, and evolve organizations of every size. Unlike lighter airport reads, this is a rigorous textbook that still reads conversationally, pairing concise frameworks with fresh case examples from Apple, Netflix, healthcare systems, and global NGOs.
Buyers hunting for the Fifth Edition in collectible, study-ready condition will appreciate this specific copy: clean, unmarked pages, no highlighting, and a binding that still snaps shut. The scuffed cover and minor corner wear mean you secure a heavily referenced title at an accessible price while keeping all interior content pristine—perfect for graduate courses, certification prep, or your consulting library. At just 658 g and 23 cm tall, it slips easily into a briefcase or backpack for on-site client work.
What makes “Organizational Culture and Leadership” enduringly special is its dual lens: it is simultaneously a scholarly anchor (cited in thousands of dissertations) and an actionable playbook. Readers learn to surface tacit beliefs about authority, loyalty, and reality itself, then translate those insights into safer onboarding, faster post-merger integration, and more resilient innovation pipelines. If you want the seminal work that turned “culture” from a soft slogan into a measurable leadership imperative, this affordable, gently-used Wiley paperback is the smartest shelf investment you can make.
