In The Self-Defeating Organization, managers master how to stop their companies' quirks from stopping them. The path to high performance starts with your organization's core beliefs about itself. Define your company positively - by what it does well, not by what it can't do. Tell the truth about its strengths, its situation, and its secret fears. Be open to new ways of doing things. Spread costs and benefits equitably. And make the success that follows part of your new core beliefs. Throughout this book are real stories of individual managers who boldly led their organizations back up that path from self-defeating behavior to success.
