| Summary |
Seidman, founder of a consulting firm specializing in ethical business culture, holds an MA in moral philosophy from Oxford University and a law degree from Harvard Law School. Here, he espouses his view that how individuals, organizations, and nations accomplish their goals is just as important as the end results. Drawing on biology, sociology, linguistics, and even golf, he reveals thought processes that shape our decisions and actions toward others and describes the impact of recent events which have shaped the business world, such as the birth of the information age. Real-life examples, from small business entrepreneurs to large organizations, illustrate four different types of organizational cultures, focusing on the ideal of self-governing cultures and the leadership framework for encouraging them. This expanded edition includes a brief foreword by Bill Clinton and a new 28-page preface by the author. A website now provides downloadable color versions of frameworks in the book, plus an online interactive HOW course, a collection of studies that support the hypotheses of HOW, and a wealth of interviews, articles, and videos.
