I want you to know, what I’ve discovered about work and organizations.
And if you’ve landed here — you’ve likely considered that something may be missing from yours. Your career may feel stagnant. Your team may seem unable to build out a promising idea or product. If you are an entrepreneur, your business may be struggling to grow.
