In the Era of Behaviour, success depends less on what you do and more on how you do it. Drawing on nearly two decades of experience at LRN, Seidman offers principles and frameworks to build principled cultures and inspire sustained excellence. This updated edition features a new foreword by President Bill Clinton and examines leadership, trust, governance, and relationships through engaging anecdotes, case studies, and expert interviews to reveal how values-driven behaviour shapes 21st-century success.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The flood of information, unprecedented transparency, increasing interconnectedness—and our global interdependence—are dramatically reshaping today's world, the world of business, and our lives. We are in the Era of Behaviour and the rules of the game have fundamentally changed. It is no longer what you do that matters most and sets you apart from others, but how you do what you do. Whats are commodities, easily duplicated or reverse-engineered. Sustainable advantage and enduring success for organisations and the people who work for them now lie in the realm of how, the new frontier of conduct.

For almost two decades, Dov Seidman's pioneering organisation, LRN, has helped some of the world's most respected companies build "do it right," winning cultures and inspire principled performance throughout their organisations. Seidman's distinct vision of the world, business, and human endeavour has helped enable more than 15 million people doing business in more than 120 countries to outbehave the competition. In How: Why How We Do Anything Means Everything, Dov Seidman shares his unique approach with you. Now updated and expanded, How includes a new Foreword from President Bill Clinton and a new Preface from Dov Seidman on why how we behave, lead, govern, operate, consume, engender trust in our relationships, and relate to others matters more than ever and in ways it never has before.

Through entertaining anecdotes, surprising case studies, cutting-edge research in a wide range of fields, and revealing interviews with a diverse group of leaders, business executives, experts, and everyday people on the front lines, this book explores how we think, how we behave, how we lead, and how we govern our institutions and ourselves to uncover the values-inspired "hows" of twenty-first-century success and significance.

Divided into four comprehensive parts, this insightful book:

  • Exposes the forces and factors that have fundamentally restructured the world in which organisations operate and their people conduct themselves, placing a new focus on their hows
  • Provides frameworks to help you understand those hows and implement them in powerful and productive ways
  • Helps you channel your actions and decisions in order to thrive uniquely within today's new realities
  • Sheds light on the systems of how—the dynamics between people that shape organisational culture—and introduces a bold new vision for leading and winning through self-governance

The qualities that many once thought of as "soft"—values, trust, and reputation—are now the hard currency of success and the ultimate drivers of efficiency, performance, innovation, and growth.

With in-depth insights and practical advice, How will help you bring excellence and significance to your business endeavours—and your life—and refocus your efforts in powerful new ways. If you want to stand out, to thrive in our fast-changing, hyperconnected, and hypertransparent world, read this book and discover How.
