organization makes each and every day.
6
:Some of them are tiny, others gigantic.
7
:From the intern jotting down minutes
to the CEO, making big acquisitions,
8
:everyone plays a role in the journey.
9
:Each choice, each action, collectively

organization could be shaped by a

of an intricate web of choices
18
:that spans the whole organization.

organization and empowering each
20

24
:Now, how do you align
choices in your organization?
25
:Keep lighting the path and
share this with a friend.
