Summary:

In this "Era of Behavior" it is no longer a matter of what you do, but how you do it that sets you apart from others. Here you will be exposed to the forces and factors that have fundamentally restructured the world in which organizations operate and their people conduct themselves with a new focus on their "hows." Frameworks to help you understand those "hows" and implement them in powerful and productive ways, and ways to channel your actions and decisions in order to thrive uniquely within today's new realities are provided. Shown are the systems of "how" (the dynamics between people that shape organizational culture) and a bold new vision is given for leading and winning through self-governance.
