DESCRIPTION:
We have turned issues like self-governance, values and trust that were once considered "soft" into the hard currency of business. In addition, I'm honored that President Bill Clinton contributed a Foreword in which he describes his own journey in being in the "HOW business for the rest of my life." . We have entered the Era of Behavior. The global economic meltdown supplied a perfect, but painful, example of how sustainability cannot be guided by situational values. In this world, How is no longer a question, but the answer to what ails us as people, institutions, companies, nations. It's a way of thinking about individual and organizational behavior. Can you elaborate further on The HOW Report that your company LRN is publishing in the fall? The results of The How Report, our study of over 5,000 employees working for larger organizations based in
The flood of information, unprecedented transparency, increasing interconnectedness-and our global interde¬pendence-are dramatically reshaping today's world, the world of business, and our lives. If you want to stand out, to thrive in our fast changing, hyper¬connected, and hypertransparent world, read this book and discover HOW.. Whats are commodities, easily duplicated or reverse-engineered. For almost two decades, Dov Seidman's pioneering organi¬zation, LRN, has helped some of the world's most respected companies build "do it right," winning cultures and inspire principled performance throughout their organizations.

"Everything Old is New Again" according to Robin Reif. Well stated argument for importance of values, principles and what Seidman calls "out-behaving" as a competitive tool in corporate life. Good examples and interesting analogies throughout. Brings to mind Adam Smith's 18th century project to create a decent society through markets but, unless I missed something, seems light on value of principled behavior for its own sake. Still, an excellent read.. Why I love How How shines a light onto the more purposeful rationale for your beliefs and actions. It allows you to see the value in the pursuit of HOW, even in the wake of those who are only focused on the what and why. This book gave me the confidence to continue on my journey.. Scott McGill said Do it because you should. This book was very beneficial to me because it provided new ways to look at management and leadership; doing things because it is the right thing to do rather than something one has to do.
