Norman Wolfe draws on decades of experience both leading and consulting with organizations, large and small, to unravel the mystery of creating results. Based on scientific, philosophical and spiritual truths, The Living Organization(r) model explores how three distinct yet highly interdependent fields of energy influence and determine what results will and will not be created.
