And by pinpointing and uprooting our own immunities to change, we can bring our organizations forward with us.

Instead of trying to master tidying all at once, this book lets you try out a few examples that make sense for your problem. If you have a big function containing many lines of code, you'll learn how to logically divide it into smaller chunks.

And finally, the short-sighted exploitation of natural resources that is corroding the environment must end.

Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey have found and studied such companies - deliberately developmental organizations.
