Abstract:

Twenty five years of applied research on the front lines of project and organization leadership has revealed how personal responsibility works in our minds. That's right, we now understand the mental processes by which humans avoid taking ownership for "stuff" in our lives and work -- and how we take it. These powerful breakthroughs are being successfully applied by leaders worldwide as a fundamental framework for learning, success, performance, teamwork and happiness.
