Roby s Beliefs About Small Business And Organizations And Their People

• Organizational leaders can create self managing, systems based organizations. This must happen if there is to be long term success, fun, sanity, and human health.
• Employees can learn to self manage and lead.
• Leaders' false beliefs are the primary factors in the way of achieving a great, fun organization.
