This book is designed to provide teachers in Organizational Behavior and management courses, as well as corporate workshops, with a highly effective way to address important issues in moderndays' management and organizational behaviorrelated issues. As a unique, nontraditional, OBoriented book geared towards flexible leadership, professors from universities around the world offer a series of thoughtprovoking, motivating, growthoriented, stories that will help readers to tap into their internal locus of control.
