| Sumario: | For corporate strategy to live and work, people have to understand strategy, and strategy makers have to understand people. They need a living strategy. "This insightful book has been the publishing event of the last few months - and rightly so. .... It's rounded off with a workbook - this makes an already reasonably priced book into even better value.

These tenets are then used as the basis for putting human capital at the center of corporate strategy. We operate in time Our current behavior is influenced by the memory of the past and by the beliefs of the future. Human development progresses through a shared sequence as skills and knowledge may take years to develop and attitudes and values area resistant to rapid change. We search for meaning We strive to interpret the clues and events around us, we actively engage with the world, to seek a se... |
