Leadership is not just about reading data points and asserting corresponding action points; it is about designing an organizational structure and culture that directly generates desired performance results. Part of that involves understanding internal controls (such as motivation) versus external controls (such as policies and budgets) and making sure they cohere and never clash. From the perspective of sets and causal chains, the author presents a new way for leaders to view organizational structure holistically. A website accompanies the book with models and simulations that help map out these complex sets and predict/analyze results.
