Hafrey illustrates these five steps using contemporary books and movies. To show how we elaborate a managerial style from early childhood, he discusses adult readings of Du Bose Heyward's classic children's tale, The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes.

Hafrey juxtaposes these narratives with real-life businesspeople's stories of career challenge and personal success and speculates on the way in which American business values increasingly shape and will be shaped by global culture.
