Have a problem with your organization's strategy in an era of accelerating, exponential change? Modern business orthodoxy has an easy answer: transform it. Hone: How Purposeful Leaders Defy Drift argues this thinking is itself in need of an overhaul.

• The importance of recognizing and taking action to defy the drift that often afflicts organizations undergoing massive transformation
• Guidelines on how to design and continually reshape effective management systems to influence organizational and individual behaviors
• Reframing the job of CEOs to be Chief System Designers for their organizations
• Reflections on how honing principles within organizations can be used on broader societal challenges
