Using real life examples from organizations and summaries from the most recent academic studies. Karseras equips leaders to use the code with practical tools, techniques and tips in a casual, easy to read format that answers questions such as: What can expect to be the impact of virtual working and digital transformations on my team? How do I use a road map that science confirms works for all teams? How do I build a greater sense of community into the organization and, eventually, the world?
