resigned, frustrated and disillusioned by his experiences in this dysfunctional bureaucracy. Late in 1995, he had his first encounter with Dee Hock’s perspective on business. He carried Hock’s words with him during
his experiences at the aforementioned public company and used them as the catalyst for three years of exploration, from 1997 through today. He was intrigued by the efforts of so many to usher in a new consciousness
in business. Henderson has spent much of the past three years, speaking with authors, decisions makers, philosophers and people in business in an effort to expand his understanding of our current situation.
