Everyone knows who. No one says anything. Eyes go down. The subject changes. And the organization just told everyone in that room exactly what it believes - not what it says it believes, but what it actually believes - about accountability, about performance, about what happens when you tell the truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePremeditated Culture\u003c\/b\u003e follows Catherine Nibali from her college years through the first decade of her career - through failed organizations, compromised institutions, and the slow accumulation of hard-won understanding that eventually makes her the most capable and most dangerous CEO in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the novel that explains how organizational culture actually forms - not through values statements or offsite retreats, but through the cycle that runs beneath every organization whether its leaders know it or not: \u003cb\u003ebeliefs drive behavior.
