Close the Loop

A book about the difference between leaders who sense reality and leaders who execute their programs regardless of it.

Close the Loop is a forthcoming book on the function leadership actually performs in complex systems. The book argues that the difference between recoveries that look miraculous and failures that look sudden is the same thing in both cases: whether the leader closed the feedback loop in time. Read the first chapter now — a 25-page look at how three hundred fifty million years of biology shapes who walks tall and who shrinks in the conference room. The rest of the book arrives when it's available.
