    Why are most workplaces still stuck in the twentieth century? Is there a better way to create engaged and motivated employees? And could this have a positive impact on your bottom line?

    There is, in fact, a groundbreaking type of organizational culture that can lead to massive success for the companies that implement it. Known as the Deliberately Developmental Organization (DDO), it has transformed the practices and profits of the world's best-performing hedge fund firm, a leading e-commerce company, and a successful entertainment business-and now you can find out its secrets.

    You will learn:

    · Why a DDO culture creates a stronger, happier, more successful workplace

    · What the single biggest timewaster in the workplace is and how you can eliminate it

    · Crucial tools, techniques, and practices used by successful DDOs

    · How your organization can take the first steps to becoming a DDO.
