A healthy organization acts as a team, which in times of urgency or uncertainty relies on shared values to achieve coordinated action.Confidence in your mission is more easily destroyed than created. Harvard’s leaders had nothing good to say about its curriculum but also had nothing constructive to say about what should replace it.
