Paul Williams and Andreas Krebs take a no-punches-held look at the stories we tell ourselves about business success. The rags-to-riches tale is tempting, but we don’t have to search far to see that most organizations rise for a time, only to experience a dramatic fall from grace.

The workplace has undergone a massive shift. Remote work and economic instability have depressed innovation and left us disconnected and disengaged.

And they model the behavior that they want to see. This book tells you how.
