We are in the Era of Behavior 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 organizations 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 organi¬zation, LRN, has helped some of the world's most respected companies build "do it right," winning cultures and inspire principled performance throughout their organizations. Seidman's distinct vision of the world, business, and human endeavor has helped enable more than 15 million people do¬ing 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 Fore¬word 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 reveal¬ing 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 organizations 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 organizational culture-andintroduces 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, innova¬tion, and growth. With in-depth insights and practical advice, HOW will help you bring excellence and significance to your business endeavors- and your life-and refocus your efforts in powerful new ways. If you want to stand out, to thrive in our fast changing, hyper¬connected, and hypertransparent world, read this book and discover HOW. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

Be a team player and read HOW!Oct 05, 2011
By Lilly Newman According to HOW there is no longer any excuse to not begin working harder towards global unity, and advancement. With the Internet, and social media both readily available to us now, it is easier than ever to begin sharing ideas, and solving problems together. Also, we must understand that the days when we could just believe that a company or organization was going to act in a trustworthy manner are over, and that business too must start taking part in this revolutionary movement. HOW teaches us that we must begin choosing to act responsibly, and conscientiously, and so must businesses. It is a meaningful look at the power of people acting together, and acting in a way that is best for everyone.

Highly recommend!Oct 05, 2011
By Carla Costa Dov Seidman presents an amazing look at the need to return to key values and principles in order to succeed in business, as well as a global community. With clarity and conviction, he shows us that businesses who operate without adhering to the golden rule can no longer do so in private, thanks to the use of modern day technology. With the use of social media, and free information readily available, there is no longer a tolerance for companies that will not be forthcoming, and transparent in their motives. Perhaps because of all that has come to light in recent years that was being hidden, or simply that the means have presented themselves for customers to demand it, however exceptional behavior is now a benchmark for any successful organization. Dov Seidman's book delves into this matter, and truly reveals how attempting to "out behaving" our competitors has become so necessary. I would highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to improve the culture of their organization, or for anyone who wants to make a difference in the world around them.

How is the new WhatOct 30, 2011
By Nick McCormick It's not what we do that matters anymore. It's how we do it. That's the message of Dov Seidman's book, "How." Today, the real competitive advantage for companies is in "outbehaving" the competition. This shift from What or How Much to How has occurred, in large part, due to the increased level of transparency and interconnectedness in the world today. We simply can't hide anymore! We can put out a great product, for instance (The What), but if people find out we produced it with child labor (The How), we're doomed.
How do we get our Hows right? By doing the right thing... by being open and honest, sharing credit, and keeping promises, to name a few ways. Not surprisingly, the book has a heavy focus on trust. Dov provides an acronym - TRIP which stands for Trust, Risk, Innovation, and Progress. We need a foundation of Trust to enable us to take Risk. When we take Risks we create Innovation. Innovation drives Progress. "Trust propels its own TRIP!"
Dov provides a host of references and entertaining anecdotes to back up his premise, and while it's not a "How to" book with step-by-step instructions, he does provide a framework (The Leadership Framework), which can be used as a guide to help put the Hows into action everyday. Give it a shot.
Nick McCormick, author, "Lead Well and Prosper" and "Acting Up Brings Everyone Down"

Not really helpfulMay 04, 2012
By Art Clarke I teach a graduate school class in organizational behavior and wanted to include this book as part of the reading list because I had heard some good things about it and the author. I was surprised to find the writing tedious and the examples trite. The author's obsession with sports metaphors (the "wave") and sports figures was tiresome and a bit embarrassing. The section about the Marlboro Man makes Seidman appear petulant, almost to the point of being ridiculous. I liked the message about transparency and decided to do some internet research on LRN Corporation. The story that emerges from the posts on glassdoor/com are not complimentary. One gets the impression that Seidman does not practice what he preaches. So why believe the HOW message? Readers will be far better off with anything from Drucker, Bennis or Peters.

The Seminal Work on Corporate BehaviorOct 25, 2011
By Michael Salvarezza HOW is a seminal work on corporate behavior. In fact, as the world is seeming to erupt in a wave of movement against old ways of thinking (Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street, etc.), this book almost seems prescient in its views that the established ways of managing and behaving in a business environment, and in everyday life, need to change. Through well articulated examples, Dov makes a compelling argument that the way to succeed, thrive and achieve significance will be through behavior. But Dov doesn't just resort to anecdotes and theory; he backs this up with facts and a very detailed set of frameworks which are very useful for anybody looking to really adopt this philosophy. I would highly recommend this book.
